18 days



2 ( A + B + C) ‘s 1 day’s work = 1/30 + 1/24 + 1/20 = 1/8 

their 1 day’s work = 1/8/2 = 1/16 

their 10 days work = 1/16 × 10 = 5/8 

the remaining work = 3/8 

A’s 1 day’s work = 1/16 – 1/24 = 1/48 

Therefore, the No. of days A alone will take to complete 3/8 of the work = 3/8/ 1/48

= 3/8 × 48 = 3 × 6 = 18 days.
