work of A in one day = 1/36
work of B in one day = 1/72
work of C in one day = 1/78
so total work of A& B &C in 3 day = 1/36+1/72 + 1/78
= (78 + 39 + 36)/2808
= 153/2808
so total wok will finish in =3 x2808/153 days
= 55th day------ans

55th day is the right answer
...total work in 3 days = (1/36 + 1/72 + 1/78) now
let divide 54 in three parts means each get 18 days ..
in 18 days A do 1/2 work ,
in 18 days B do 1/4 work ,
in 18 days C do 18/78 work..
so total work done on ending of 54 day will be (1/2+1/4+18/78)= 0.98 ...
so on 55th day when there is a turn of A whole work finished...

in one day A work === 1/36
in one day B work ===1/72
in one day C worrk ===1/78
in 6/36 + 6/72 + 6/78 ==1/12 + 1/12 + 1/13 == 51 /156 in 18 day
for doing full work == 18 * 156/51 == 54
