    A Option a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Option b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Option c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Option d Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A+B= 12.5 = 25/2days B+C=18.75=75/2days C+A=15days LCM of 25/2,75/2 and 15 = 150 Total 2(A+B+C)= 12+8+10=30 A+B+C =15 C = 15-12=3 D= 3×40/100=1.2 NOW A+B+C+D = 15+1.2=16.2 SO total days = 150/16.2 =1500/162=250/27
