Correct Answer: 30 days
Solution : Let the rates at which Pinki, Rinki, and Minki can complete the work as P, R, and M as work per day, respectively. From the problem, Pinki and Rinki together can do the work in 20 days. ⇒ P + R = $\frac{1}{20}$ Rinki and Minki together can do the work in 12 days. ⇒ R + M = $\frac{1}{12}$ Pinki and Minki together can do the work in 15 days. ⇒ P + M = $\frac{1}{15}$ Solve these equations by adding the first and second equations and then subtracting the third equation, ⇒ 2R = $\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{15} = \frac{4}{60}$ ⇒ R = $\frac{1}{30}$ $\therefore$ Rinki alone can do the work in 30 days. Hence, the correct answer is 30 days.
