A's one day work =1/20
Bs one day work= 1/30
C's one day work= 1/40
(A+B+C)'s one day = (1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40) = 13/120
For 2 days A B and C worked together , so (A+B+C)'s 2 days work = 2x(13/120) = 13/60
Remaining work = 1–13/60 = 47/60
(B+C) together will work on it for 2 days after A left , so we'll find (b+c)'s 2 days work = 2[(1/30)+(1/40)] =7/60
Now find the.remaining work = (47/60) - (7/60) = 40/60 or 2/3
This 2/3 work will be done by C alone so we'll divide this by C's one day work
(2/3)÷(1/40) = 80/3 = 2.67 days
Total time taken = 4 + 2.67 = 6.67 days ANS
