Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

  1. First, we need to find out the work done by A, B, and C in one day. Since A can complete the work in 30 days, A's one day work is 1/30. Similarly, B's one day work is 1/45 and C's one day work is 1/90.

  2. Now, let's find out the work done by A, B, and C together in one day. This is given by A's one day work + B's one day work + C's one day work = 1/30 + 1/45 + 1/90 = 1/10.

  3. According to the problem, A works alone for two days and on the third day, A, B, and C work together. So, the work done in three days is given by 2*(A's one day work) + (A, B, and C's one day work together) = 2*(1/30) + 1/10 = 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6.

  4. Therefore, the total work will be completed in 6*3 = 18 days.

So, the work will be completed in 18 days.
