    Workspace

    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    A's 2 day's work =\( [\frac { 1 } { 20 }*2]\)=\( \frac { 1 } { 10} \)

     

    (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =[\( \frac { 1 } { 20} \)+\( \frac { 1 } { 30} \)+\( \frac { 1 } { 60} \)]=\( \frac { 6 } { 60} \)=\( \frac { 1 } { 10} \)

     

    Work done in 3 days =[\( \frac { 1 } { 10} \)+\( \frac { 1 } { 10} \)]=\( \frac { 1 } { 5} \)

     

    Now,   \( \frac { 1 } { 5} \)  work is done in 3 days.


     Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days
