Explanation:

Answer & Explanation
A) 2/3
Explanation:
Let work completed in x days, so A and C worked for all x days, and B for (x-3) days. So
(1/10 + 1/15)*x + (1/12)*(x-3) = 1
Solve, x = 5 days
In 5 days, A did 5/10 = 1/2 of work
In (5-3) = 2 days, B did 2/12 = 1/6 of work
So total by A and B = (1/2 + 1/6) = 2/3
