    Correct Answer = 22 days
    -------------------------------------------
    Explanation :
    Work done by A in 1 day = 1/24
    Work done by B in 1 day = 1/32
    Work done by C in 1 day = 1/60

    Work done by A, B and C together in 1 day = 1/24 + 1/32 + 1/60 = 43/480
    After 6 days, A leaves.
    So, work done by A, B and C together in 6 days = 43/80

    Now, B and C work together for the next two days before B leaves.
    Work done by B and C together in 1 day = 1/32 + 1/60 = 23/480

    So, work done by B and C together in 2 days = 46/480 = 23/240

    Work remaining after A and B leaves = 1 - (43/80 + 23/240) = 1 - 152/240 = 88/240 = 11/30

    So 11/30 of the work is remaining for C to do alone.

    C completes 1 work in 60 days

    So, C completes 11/30 of the work in 11/30 * 60 days = 22 days
