    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    A's 2 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 x 2 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 1 .
    20 10
    (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 1 + 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 6 = 1 .
    20 30 60 60 10
    Work done in 3 days = 1-sym-oparen-h1 1 + 1 1-sym-cparen-h1 = 1 .
    10 10 5
    Now, 1 work is done in 3 days.
    5

     Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
