(A) 28 (B) 30(C) 32(D) 36(E) 403.
Let Alice takes x hours to paint a house.
Then Bea takes x/3 hours to paint the house.
1 hour work of Alice = 1/x
1 hour work of Bea = 3/x
(1/x) + (3/x) = 1/24 implies x = 96 hrs, that is Alice takes 96 hrs to paint the house, which Bea could have painted in 96/3 = 32 hrs

The correct answer is C.
