224. 3 men and 7 women can complete a work in 10 days . But 4 men and 6 women need 8 days to complete the same work . In how many days will 10 women complete the same work?

✅ The correct answer is option C. 40.
Work done by 4 men and 6 women in 1 day = 1/8

Work done by 3 men and 7 women in 1 day = 1/10

Let 1 man does m work in 1 day and 1 woman does w work in 1 day. The above equations can be written as

4m + 6w = 1/8 —(1)

3m + 7w = 1/10 —(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) , we get m=11/400 and w=1/400

Amount of work 10 women can do in a day = 10 × (1/400) = 1/40

Ie, 10 women can complete the work in 40 days
