Correct Answer: 16 days
Solution : Given: A and B can do a piece of work in 20 days. B and C can do it in 30 days, and A and C can do it in 24 days. We know, If a man can do the work in $n$ days, then one day's work of the man $=\frac{1}{n}$. (A + B)'s 1 day's work is $\frac{1}{20}$. (B + C)'s 1 day's work is $\frac{1}{30}$. (A + C)'s 1 day's work is $\frac{1}{24}$. Adding the above three equations we get, 2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{24}=\frac{6+4+5}{120} = \frac{15}{120} = \frac{1}{8}$ ⇒ (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work $=\frac{1}{16}$ $\therefore$ (A + B + C) together will complete the work in 16 days. Hence, the correct answer is 16 days.
