Solution

A's one day's work $= \frac{1}{10}$

B's one day's work $= \frac{1}{12}$

and C's one day's work $= \frac{1}{15}$

$∴$ A,B and C's one day's work $= \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15}$

$= \frac{6 + 56 + 4}{60} = \frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4}$

$∴$ A, B and C can do the same work in 4 days
