Correct Answer: 8


Solution : Given: 4 Women = 6 Boys
The ratio of efficiency of Woman : Boy = 3 : 2
Let the efficiency of a Woman and a Boy be 3 units and 2 units
Boys can complete work in = 60 days
Then, total work = 60 × 2 = 120 units
5 women's work with efficiency of 3 units = 5 × 3 = 15 units
So, time taken by 5 women = $\frac{\text{Total work}}{\text{Efficiency of 5 women}}$
= $\frac{120}{15}$
= 8 days
Hence, the correct answer is 8.
