Explanation:

1/a + 1/b + 1/c = 1/20 (given)
In first case let time taken by A and C together is p days, then the time taken by B will be 2p. Substitute in the above equation and we get p = 60 (time taken by B to complete the work).
Similarly in the second case, u will get P = 80 (time taken by C to complete the work)
Now, 1/a = 1/20 – 1/60 – 1/80 to get the answer = 48 days
