The trick (SOP) for work problems is that we reduce the work to unit rate.

Ahmad and Kumar together can paint a house in 12 days.--->Ahmad and Kumar together can paint 1/12 the house in 1 days.

A+K = 1/12 of house in a day
K+C= 1/15 of house in a day
A+C= 1/20 of house in a day

Adding all together

2(A+K+C) = 1/12+1/15/+1/20 = 1/5 in a day
A+K+C = 1/10 in a day

So they take 10 days to finish the job together.
