Correct Answer: 20


Solution : X and Y together can do a piece of work in 30 days.
⇒ 1 day's work of X + Y = $\frac{1}{30}$
Z alone can do it in 60 days.
⇒ 1 day's work of Z = $\frac{1}{60}$
So, 1 day's work of X + Y + Z = $\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{60}=\frac{1}{20}$
Therefore they will finish the work in 20 days working together.
Hence, the correct answer is 20.
