8 men or 12 women can do a work in 10 days That means , 8 men = 12 women 2 men = 3 women Now, 4 men + 4 women = 2 × 3 women + 4 women = 6 women + 4 women = 10 women As, 12 women can complete the work in 10 days. So , Total work = 12 ×10 = 120 unit Time taken by (4 men + 4 women )10 women to complete the work = \(\frac{120}{10}\) = 12 days |
