Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Let the total work = LCM of (12, 55, and 66) = 660 units
Task completed in 1 day by A = $\frac{660}{55}$ = 12 units
Task completed in 1 day by B = $\frac{660}{66}$ = 10 units
Task completed in 1 day by A, B, and C together = $\frac{660}{12}$ = 55 units
Task completed in 1 day by C = 55 – 12 – 10 = 33 units
So, time taken by C to do the work alone = $\frac{660}{33}$ = 20 days
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
