A) 17 + 4/7 days B) 13 + 1/3 days
C) 15 + 3/2 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 + 1/3 days

Explanation:

C alone can finish the work in 40 days.
As given C does half as much work as A and B together
=> (A + B) can do it in 20 days
(A + B)s 1 days wok = 1/20.
A's 1 days work : B's 1 days Work = 1/2 : 1 = 1:2(given)
A's 1 day’s work = (1/20) x (1/3) = (1/60) [Divide 1/20 in the raio 1:2]
B's 1 days work = (1/20) x (2/3) = 1/30
(A+B+C)'s 1 day's work = (1/60) + (1/30) + (1/40) = 9/120 = 3/40

All the three together will finish it in 40/3 = 13 and 1/3 days.
