Answer : [A]
Explanation :
Let the daily work of A, B an C be x, y, z respectively.
Then, x + y =
1
12
 ------------- (1) => y =
1
12
 - x
y + z =
3
20
 ------------- (2) => z =
3
20
 - y =
3
20
-
1
12
 + x  
=
4
60
 + x =
1
15
 + x => 3x - 4y + 7z = 1 ------------- (3)  
Substituting (1) and (2) in (3) we get
3x + 4  
1
12
 - x    + 7  
1
15
 + x    = 1 => 3x +
1
3
 - 4x +
7
15
 + 7x = 1
6x =
15 - 5 - 7
15
=

x =

15 x 6
=

A alone can complete the work in 30 days.
