    B.

    9

    C.

    5

    D.

    6

    Correct option is D


    Given:
    · Anil and Balbeer together can complete the task in 3 days.
    · After 2 days of working together, Anil got injured, and Balbeer took 2 more days to finish the task.
    Concept Used:
    · We use the concept of work done per day by each person and calculate how much work is completed by each.
    Solution:
    1. Let the total work be 1 unit.
    2. Anil and Balbeer together can finish the work in 3 days, so their combined 1-day work is 1/3.
    3. In 2 days, they complete: 2 × 1/3 = 2/3 of the total work.
    4. Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3.
    5. Balbeer alone completes the remaining 1/3 of the work in 2 days, so his 1-day work is: 1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/6.
    6. If Balbeer’s 1-day work is 1/6, he can finish the entire task alone in: 1 ÷ 1/6 = 6 days.
    Thus, Balbeer alone would take 6 days to finish the entire task.
    Final Answer: (d) 6
