- C) 5 days
If 1 day work of a man=M and a woman=W, then 3M=5W=1/12
As 6M=10W, so 6 men & 2 women(=12 women's) 1 day work=12*(1/12)/5=1/5
Hence 5 days are required to complete the work. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- let the required number of days be x
3 men=5 women
(5/3)*6=10 women
(6 men & 2 women)=(10+2) women =12 women
more women less days
12*x=12*5
by solving above we get 5 days - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
