Correct Answer: $\frac{16}{5}$
Solution : Time taken by 10 women to complete the work = 16 days Time taken by 6 men to complete the work = 8 days Number of men working initially = 12 Number of men who left after 2 days = 6 Number of women who joined after 2 days = 5 Now, 10 women × 16 = 6 men × 8 1 woman=$\frac{3}{10}$ man Total work = 6 men × 8 days = 48 units (considering efficiency of 1 man is 1 unit) Work done by 12 men in 2 days= 12 × 2 = 24 Units Work left after 2 days = 48 − 24 = 24 units Number of men equivalents left = (6 + 5 × $\frac{3}{10}$) men= $\frac{15}2$ men So, $\frac{15}2$ men will do 24 units in = $\frac{48}{15} = \frac{16}5$ days Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{16}5$.
