Answer 2

Solution:

Given: Time taken by 10 men to finish work =10 days (Equation 1)

Time taken by 12 women to finish the work = 10 days (Equation 2)

From Equation 1 and Equation 2

Work done by 10 Men = Work done by 12 women

So,

5 Men = 6 women (Equation 3)

Also, 15 Men and 6 Women = 15 Men + 5 Men (From Equation 3)

= 20 Men

Time taken by 10 Men = 10 days

So, Time taken by 20 Men = Time taken by 15 Men + 6 Women

Time taken by 20 Men

= $\dfrac{10 \times 10}{20}$

= 5 Days

It will take 5 Days for 15 Men and 6 Women to complete the work
