(7A+5B) do in 1 day 1/2 unit so (14A+10B) do in 1 day 1 unit...(1) & (21A+15B) do in 1 day 3/2 unit....(2)
(2A+3B) do in 1 day 1/5 unit so (14A+21B) do in 1 day 7/5 unit...(3) & (10A+15B) do in 1 day 1 unit...(4)
performing (3)-(1) & (2)-(4) we get B & A do in 1 day 2/55 & 1/22 unit respectively so (10B+3A) do in 1 day (2/55*10+1/22*3)=1/2 unit
therefore the whole work will be done by them in 2 days

7a+5b=1/2...eqn1
2a+3b=1/5...eqn2
solve 1 and 2
get b=2/55 and a=1/22
3a+10b=1/2 so ans is 2days

let amount of work done by A in one day=x and B=y
so, 2(7x+5y)= 5(2x+3y)
which boils down to x=5/4y
so in terms of y total work done can be calculated by putting
in one of above equation and it comes out to be 110y/4
Now creating last required equation in terms of y,
we will get-> n(3*5/4y+ 10y)= 110y/4
solving it and n, number of day come out to be 2,Ans-2
