straight A space straight B space and space straight C thin space can space do space straight a space piece space of space work space in space 8 space days
so space in space 1 space day space they space all space will space complete space 1 over 8 th space part space of space work
straight A space can space do space the space same space work space alone space in space 20 space days
in space one space day space 1 over 20 th space part
straight B space in space one space day space 1 over 14 th space part
let space straight C space in space one space day space 1 over straight c th space part
so
1 over 8 equals 1 over 20 plus 1 over 14 plus 1 over straight c
1 over 280 equals 1 over straight c
straight c equals 280 space days
now space in space straight a space day space straight A space and space straight C space will space together space complete
1 over 20 plus 1 over 280 equals 3 over 56 th space part
so space total space days space required space is space 56 over 3 space days almost equal to 18.67 space days
