A = x days, B = y days, C = 2x days.
therefore space space 1 over straight x space plus space 1 over straight y space space equals space 1 over 12 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space... left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis
 1 over straight y space plus space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 straight x end fraction space equals space 1 over 15              ...(ii)
By equation (i) - (ii), we have
therefore space space space space space 1 over straight x minus fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 straight x end fraction space equals space 1 over 12 minus 1 over 15
rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 2 minus 1 over denominator 2 straight x end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 5 minus 4 over denominator 60 end fraction space equals 1 over 60
rightwards double arrow space space space space straight x space equals space 30
∴    From equation (i),
 rightwards double arrow space space 1 over 30 space plus space 1 over straight y space equals space 1 over 12
rightwards double arrow space space space 1 over straight y space equals space 1 over 12 minus 1 over 30 space equals space fraction numerator 5 minus 2 over denominator 60 end fraction space equals space 1 over 20
∴  B will finish the work in 20 days.
