A's 2 day's work = \(\left(\frac{1}{20}\times2\right)=\frac{1}{10}.\)
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = \(\left(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{60}\right)=\frac{6}{60}=\frac{1}{10}.\)
Work done in 3 days = \(\left(\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}\right)=\frac{1}{5}\)
Now, \(\frac{1}{5}\) work is done in 3 days.
So, Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.
