Correct Answer: 24


Solution : Time taken by A to do $\frac{1}{3}$rd of a work = 10 days
Time taken by A to complete the work = 3 × 10 = 30 days
Part of work done by A in a day = $\frac{1}{30}$
Time taken by B to do $\frac{3}{5}$th of a work = 24 days
Time taken by B to complete the work = $\frac{5 ×24}{3}$ = 40 days
Part of work done by B in a day = $\frac{1}{40}$
Part of work done by A and B together in a day $=\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{40} = \frac{4+3}{120} = \frac{7}{120}$
Part of the work done by A and B together in 10 days $=\frac{70}{120} = \frac{7}{12}$
Remaining work $=1-\frac{7}{12}=\frac{5}{12}$
Time taken by C to do $\frac{5}{12}$ of a work = 15 days
Time taken by C to complete the work = $\frac{15 ×12}{5}$ = 36 days
Time taken by C to do $\frac{2}{3}$ of a work = $\frac{2×36}{3}$ = 24 days
Hence, the correct answer is 24.
