Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours being likely to be put cleaning the lake will be about three hours. This is because the cleaning of the lake is an after-activity, that is one that is conducted after their normal daily routines.

Hence the maximum input hours will be three hours for the households.
