2 men and 12 women can finish a job in 4 days. 4 men and 6 women can do the same job in 5 days. Find the time taken by 1 man and 1 woman to complete the job.

A. 30 days
B. 25 days
C. 24 days
D. 20 days

Part of work done by 1 man in a day = 1/m Part of work done by 1 woman in a day
= 1/w (2/m)+(12/w) = (1/4) (4/m)+(6/w) = (1/5) Solving,
1/m = 1/40 ,1/w = 1/60 (1/m)+(1/w) = 5/120 = 1/24

Correct Answer: C. 24 days ✔
