Answer / v vinay

let x is amount of work to be done to paint one house.
So Brown's one day work is x/6, black's can do x/8 work in
one day and blue is x/12.

Total houses is 3, so tatal work to be done is 3x.

3x= 8*(x/6) + 6*(x/8) + y*(x/12)

finally y = 11.

blue will complete the remaining work in 11 days.
