Correct Answer: 4
Solution : Let Male = $m$; Female = $w$ Work = Rate $\times$ Time 2 men can finish the work in 6 days (assuming total work as 1 unit) $\therefore 2m\times 6 = 1$ ⇒ $m = \frac{1}{12}$ And 3 women can finish the same work in 4 days. $\therefore$ $3w\times 4 = 1$ ⇒ $w = \frac{1}{12}$ Now, we need to find the rate at which 1 man and 2 women work together. The combined rate is $(1m+2w)$. $(1m + 2w)$ × Time = 1 ⇒ $(\frac{1}{12}+\frac{2}{12})$ × Time = 1 ⇒ $(\frac{3}{12})$ × Time = 1 $\therefore$ Time = 4 days Hence, the correct answer is 4.
