Solution

The correct option is A Approximately 6.4 days

1 days’ work of a man =115

1 days’ work of father =120

1 days’ work of son =125

1 days’ work of all three persons = (115 + 120 + 125) = 47300

515,20,2533,4,541,4,551,1,51,1,1

LCM (15,20,25)=5×3×4×5=300

So, all three together will complete the work in 30047 days =6.4 days.
