Given:

Deepak (D) alone = 24 hours

Deepak + Rohit (D + R) = 20 hours

Rohit + Tarun (R + T) = 16 hours

Formula used:

Assume total work = LCM of 24, 20, and 16 = 240 units

Calculation:

Work/hour by Deepak = 240 / 24 = 10 units

Work/hour by D + R = 240 / 20 = 12 units

⇒ Work/hour by Rohit = 12 - 10 = 2 units

Work/hour by R + T = 240 / 16 = 15 units

⇒ Work/hour by Tarun = 15 - 2 = 13 units

⇒ Time taken by Tarun = 240 / 13 hours

∴ Tarun alone can do the work in 240 / 13 hours.
