AI explanation

Let the total work be the least common multiple of 4 and 6, which is 12 units. Sunil's daily work is 3 units and Dinesh's is 2 units, while Ramesh works 3/2 times as fast as Sunil to complete 4.5 units per day. Their combined daily work capacity is 9.5 units, so dividing the total 12 units by 9.5 gives a time of 24/19 days. Because 24/19 is not listed among the choices, the result is None of these.
