Correct Option: C

(A + B)’s 1 day’s work =
1
10

(B + C)’s 1 day’s work =
1

(C + A)’s 1 day’s work =
1
12

Adding all three ,
2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work =
1
+
1
+
1
10612

2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work =
6 + 10 + 5
60

2 (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work =
21
=
7
6020

∴ (A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work =
7
40

∴ All three together will complete the work in =
40
= 5
5
77

Second method to solve this question ,
Here , x = 10 , y = 6 , z = 12
Time taken =
2 × 10 × 6 × 12
=
1440
10 × 6 + 6 × 12 + 12 × 1060 + 72 + 120

Time taken =
1440
=
40
2527

Time taken = 5
