• 5M=8W......so,1M=8/5 W
  it takes 3M and 5 W to finish the job in 10 days
  so 3M+5W=1/10......substituting 1M=8/5 W we get,
  3*8/5w+5w=1/10 by computing this we get W= 1/98 i.e in 98 womens are required to finish the job in 1 day
  
  98W= 1 day
  x W = 14 days
  
  you will get x=7 by crossmultiplication

• here m=8/5w
  now 3*(8/5)*10+5*10*w=98
  so for 14 day it will be 98/14=7
