Correct Answer: 18 days
Explanation:
| 2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | + | 1 | + | 1 | ❩ | = | 15 | = | 1 | . |
| 30 | 24 | 20 | 120 | 8 |
| Therefore, (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = | 1 | = | 1 | . |
| 2 x 8 | 16 |
| Work done by A, B, C in 10 days = | 10 | = | 5 | . |
| 16 | 8 |
| Remaining work = | ❨ | 1 - | 5 | ❩ | = | 3 | . |
| 8 | 8 |
| A's 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | - | 1 | ❩ | = | 1 | . |
| 16 | 24 | 48 |
| Now, | 1 | work is done by A in 1 day. |
| 48 |
| So, | 3 | work will be done by A in | ❨ | 48 x | 3 | ❩ | = 18 days. |
