Given:

Raju, Shobh and Mohan can do a work in 15 days, 20 days and 25 days respectively.

Concept used:

Total work = Efficiency (Work done per day) × Total time taken

Calculation:

Let the total work be 300 units.

Efficiency of A (Raju) = 300/15 = 20 units/day

Efficiency of B (Shobh)  = 300/20 = 15 units/day

Efficiency of C (Mohan)  = 300/25 = 12 units/day

In three days, working on alternate days, they complete = (20 + 15 + 12) = 47 units of work

In such a manner, total work in 6 such sets of 3 days = 47 × 6 = 282 units

Remaining work = 300 - 282 = 18 units

Time taken to complete 18 units of work by A = 

Total time taken = 6 × 3 +  =  days

∴ The total time taken to complete the work is  days.
