A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days. B and C can do it in 12 days. A and C can do it in 15 days. How long will A take to do it alone?
A and B can do a piece of work in 10 days. B and C can do it in 12 days. A and C can do it in 15 days. How long will A take to do it alone?
[A]20 days
[B]24 days
[C]30 days
[D]40 days
24 days
(A + B)’s 1 day’s work
(B + C)’s 1 day’s work
(C + A)’s 1 day’s work
On adding,
2(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work
∴ (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work
∴ A’s 1 day’s work
∴ A alone will complete the work in 24 days.
Hence option [B] is correct answer.

So, the answer becomes (A+B+C) = 1/8
