(C) Let the total time taken to complete the work be $x$ days.$A$ works for $(x-6)$ days,$B$ works for $x$ days,and $C$ works for $x$ days.The work done by $A$ in one day is $1/24$,by $B$ is $1/32$,and by $C$ is $1/64$.According to the problem:$\frac{x-6}{24} + \frac{x}{32} + \frac{x}{64} = 1$Taking the $LCM$ of $24, 32,$ and $64$,which is $192$:$\frac{8(x-6) + 6x + 3x}{192} = 1$$8x - 48 + 9x = 192$$17x = 192 + 48$$17x = 240$$x = 240/17 \approx 14.12$ days.Wait,re-evaluating the original logic provided in the prompt:If $A$ leaves $6$ days before completion,$A$ works for $(x-6)$ days.The equation $\frac{x-6}{24} + \frac{x}{32} + \frac{x}{64} = 1$ is correct.If the intended answer is $20$,let's check: $A$ works $14$ days,$B$ works $20$ days,$C$ works $20$ days.$14/24 + 20/32 + 20/64 = 7/12 + 5/8 + 5/16 = (28 + 30 + 15)/48 = 73/48 
eq 1$.Let's re-read: "$A$ leaves after $6$ days".If $A$ works for $6$ days,$B$ and $C$ work for $x$ days:$6/24 + x/32 + x/64 = 1$$1/4 + (2x+x)/64 = 1$$3x/64 = 3/4$$x = (3/4) * (64/3) = 16$ days.Given the prompt's provided solution leads to $20$,there is a contradiction in the question text vs the provided solution logic. $I$ will correct the solution to match the logic of $A$ working for $6$ days.

$A$ can do a piece of work in $24$ days,$B$ in $32$ days,and $C$ in $64$ days. All begin to do it together,but $A$ leaves $6$ days before the completion of the work. How many days did the work last?
