Solution

The correct option is B 18 days
(A+B)s one day work =130
(B+C)s one day work =124
(C+A)s one day work =120
(A+B)+(B+C)+(C+A)=2(A+B+C)
2(A+B+C)s one day work =130+124+120=18
(A+B+C)s one day work =116
Work done by A,B and C in 10 days =1016=58
Remaining work =158=38

As one day work =(A+B+C)s one day work (B+C)s one day work =116124=148
Now, 148 work is done by A in 1 day.
Therefore 1 work will be done by A in 48 days.
So, 38 work will be done by A in 48×38=18 days.
