Correct Answer: 7 days
Solution : Given: 4 men or 6 women can do a piece of work in 12 days, working 7 hours a day. 4 men = 6 women, i.e. 2 men = 3 women So, 10 men and 3 women = 10 + 2 = 12 men Let 10 men and 3 women take D days to complete the work. $\frac{M_1 ×D_1× h_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2 ×D_2 × h_2}{W_2}$, where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are the numbers of men, and $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days, and $W_1$ and $W_2$ are work done, and $h_1$ and $h_2$ are working hours per day. Now, according to the question, $\frac{M_1 ×D_1× h_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2 ×D_2 × h_2}{W_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{4 ×12 × 7}{1}= \frac{12 ×D × 8}{2}$ ⇒ D = 7 days Hence, the correct answer is 7 days.
