well
first read the rules for posting a proper question........
as per solution is concerned take some reference value of total distance
it will be easier to calculate if u take a value which is LCM of (4,3,2 because it will cancel 1/4, 1/3& 1/2 of total distance)
then u find distance covered is 3/4 of total distance
hope it helps

First day 1/4
Second day 1/3 of 3/4 =1/4
Third day 1/2 of 1/2 = 1/4
Hence he completed 3/4th of the trip
Second day 1/3 of 3/4 =1/4
Third day 1/2 of 1/2 = 1/4
Hence he completed 3/4th of the trip
