Dear Student,

Thanks for the feedback, but as we see detailed explanation has been given. If still you didn’t get it please check alternate solution given below:

1/A' + 1/B' = 1/12
1/B' + 1/C' = 1/15
as A', B', C' here are the number of days and since A is twice the good worker then C therefore he will complete the job in half days. Therefore C' = 2*A'

1/A' - 1/C' = 1/60
1/C' = 1/2A'

Therefore A' = 30 days
B' = 20 days
C' = 60 days

Hope it helps you.
