Given: 

A, B and C together can complete a work in 5 days.

A and B together can complete the same work in 6 days.

Concept used:

Efficiency = (Total work / Total time taken)

Efficiency = work done in a single day.   

Calculation:

Let total work is 1 

A, B and C together can complete in 1 day is 1 / 5 part

A and B together can do in 1 day 1 / 6 part

So, C can do in one day ,

(A, B and C together can complete in 1 day  A and B together can do in 1 day )

1 / 5 - 1/ 6 

⇒ 

⇒ 1 / 30

∴  C can do the total work in 30 days
