Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand that if 3 boys can complete a work in 17 days, then 1 boy will take 3 times as long to complete the same work. This is because the more people working on a task, the less time it takes.

So, we multiply 17 days by 3:

17 days * 3 = 51 days

Therefore, 1 boy can complete the work in 51 days. So, the correct answer is B. 51 days.
