Solution

A,B and C's 1 hour's work $= \frac{1}{8}$

A's 1 hour's work $= \frac{1}{20}$

B's 1 hour's work $= \frac{1}{24}$

$∴$ C's 1 hours work $= \frac{1}{8} - (\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{24})$

$= \frac{15 - (6 + 5)}{120} = \frac{15 - 11}{120}$

$= \frac{4}{120} = \frac{1}{30}$

$∴$ C alone finish the work in =30 hours.
