Given:

A + B = 12 days

B + C = 15 days

C + A = 20 days

Formula used:

Time = Work ÷ Efficiency

Calculation:

LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 units (Total Work)

(A + B)'s efficiency = 60 ÷ 12 = 5 units/day

(B + C)'s efficiency = 60 ÷ 15 = 4 units/day

(C + A)'s efficiency = 60 ÷ 20 = 3 units/day

Add all: (A + B) + (B + C) + (C + A) = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 units/day

⇒ 2A + 2B + 2C = 12 units/day

⇒ A + B + C = 6 units/day

2/5 of total work = 2/5 × 60 = 24 units

Time = 24 ÷ 6 = 4 days

∴ 2/5th of work will complete in 4 days.
