Verified by Experts

Kami, karya and kirti can together weave a carpet in `4` days
In `1` days they weave
`(1/4)^(th)` part of carpet
Therefore Kami can weave the same carpet in `12` days
In `1` days she can weave
`1/12` part
kirti can weave the carpet in `10` days
In `1` days she can weave
`1/10` part
then, Karya can weave in `1` day
`1/4-(1/12+1/10)`
`1/4-1/12-1/10`
`(15-5-6)/60`
`4/(60)`
`1/15`
so,karya can weave the whole carpet in `15` days
