Work done by Imran in one day = 1/12

Work done by Hashim in one day = 1/36

Work done by Rajat in one day = 1/18

Work done by Imran and Hashim together in one day = (1/12) + (1/36) = 1/9

Work done by Imran and Rajat together in one day = (1/12) + (1/18) = 5/36

Work done in 2 days = (1/9) + (5/36) = 1/4

Time taken to complete the work = 2/(1/4) = 2×4 = 8 days
