i get 15

in 4 days A, B, C complete 4*(1/24+1/36+1/48)=13/36 of the work
work left: 23/36

let A work for d-3 days after the 1st 4 days, let B work for d days aftre the 1st 4 days

(d-3)/24+d/36=23/36
=>(60d-108)/36*24=23/36
=>d=11

total number of days taken: 4 days+ 11 days (after C left)=15 days.
