Given:

Reena and Riya together can complete a piece of work in 36 days.

Riya and Geeta together can complete it in 54 days

Reena and Geeta together can complete it in 81 days

Calculation:

Reena and Riya = 36 

Riya and Geeta = 54

Reena and Geeta = 81

Total Work LCM (36, 54, 81) = 324

Efficiency of Reena and Riya = 9

Efficiency of Riya and Geeta = 6

Efficiency of Reena and Geeta = 4

Efficiency of Reena + Riya + Geeta = 19/2

Efficiency of Reena = 19/2 - 6

⇒ 7/2

According to the question,

⇒ 324/(7/2)

⇒ 648/7

∴ Reena alone complete the work in \( 92 \frac{4}{7}\) days.
