Correct Answer: 15 hours
Solution : The rate of A = $\frac{1}{6}$ returns per hour The rate of B = $\frac{1}{10}$ returns per hour The rate of A, B, and C together = $\frac{1}{3}$ returns per hour $\therefore$ The rate of C = $\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{10}=\frac{10-(5+3)}{30}=\frac{2}{30}=\frac{1}{15}$ returns per hour $\therefore$ The time for C to file the return = $\frac{1}{\text{rate of C}}=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{15}}= 15$ hours Hence, the correct answer is 15 hours.
