Given:A + B can complete in 60 Days
B + C can complete in 80 Days
C + A can complete in 120 Days
Calculation:Taking LCM, total work = 240
(A + B)’s 1 day work = 240/60 = 4 ---- (1)
(B + C)’s 1 day work = 240/80 = 3 ---- (2)
(C + A)’s 1 day work = 240/120 = 2 ---- (3)
Now, add equation 1 and 2 then subtract 3 from it to get 2 × B’s 1 day work
⇒ 4 + 3 – 2 = 5 ⇒ 2B = 5 ⇒ B = 5/2 = 2.5
∴ Number of days required = 240/2.5 = 96

Let's solve the problem……..
(A+B)=60=1/60 (B+C)=80=1/80 (C+A)=120=1/120 Now
(A+B)+(B+C)+(C+A)=1/60+1/80+1/120
Or, (2A+2B+2C)=(4+3+2)/240
Or, 2(A+B+C)=9/240
Or, (A+B+C)=3/(80×2)
Or, (A+B+C)=3/160 Now……
(A+B+C)—(C+A)=3/160–1/120
Or B=(9–4)/480 Or, B = 5/480 Or, B = 1/96
So B can finish the work in 96 days.

lets assume total amount of work is 240 units.
A+B one day work will be => 240/60 = 4 units
B+C one day work will be => 240/80 = 3 units
C+A one day work will be => 240/120 = 2 units
Now add above three equations
A+B+B+C+C+A = 4 + 3 + 2
2(A+B+C) = 9 A + B + C = 9/2
put the value of A + C in above equation
2 + B = 9/2 B = 5/2
B alone can do the work in 240/(5/2) = 96 days
ANSWER is :- 96 days

let A alone can do a piece of work in x days, B alone in y days. and C alone in
z days. therefore their one day work will be 1/x,1/y and 1/z respectively.
Accordingly:-
1/x+1/y= 1/60…………….(1)
1/y+1/z= 1/80……………..(2)
1/z +1/x=1/120………………(3)
On adding eqn.(1). (2) and (3).
2.(1/x+1/y+1/z) =(4+3+2)/240=9/240 = 3/80
1/x+1/y+1/z=3/160……………(4)
On subtracting eqn.(3) from (4)
1/y =3/160–1/120 =(9–4)/480=5/480 = 1/96
1/y=1/96 or. y = 96 days
B alone can do that work in 96 days. Answer.

Correct option is A)
(A + B)'s 1 days' work =
72 1 ;
(B + C)'s 1 days work =
120 1 ;
(A + C)'s 1 days' work =
90 1 ∴(A+B) ′ s+(B+C) ′ s+(A+C) ′ s 1 days work = 72 1 + 120 1 + 90 1 = 360 5+3+4 = 360 12 = 30 1 ⇒2(A+B+C) ′ s 1 days' work = 30 1 ⇒(A+B+C) ′ s = 60 1
∴ A's 1 days' work = (A+B+C)'s 1 days' work - (B+C)'s 1 days' work
= 60 1 − 120 1 = 120 2−1 = 120 1
∴ A alone will complete the work in 120 days
