work done in 3 days =(3/25 +3/15)=24/75
rest of work =1 -24/75
Rest of the work=51/75
So anauth will done in= 51/75 *25
17 days

Amit’s 1 day’s work= 1/15

Amit’s 3 day’s work = 1/15 *3 = 1/5

Work left= 1-1/5 = 4/5

Ananthu’s one day’s work= 1/25

Ananthu can do work in = 4/5 *25 = 20 days

So total days = 25+3 = 28 days

WORK DONE BY AMIT 3/15
BALANCE OF WORK 4/5
DAYS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE WORK 4/5X25=20
HENCE TOTAL DAYS 3+20=23
