Solution : Given, 2 men and 7 women can complete a work in 28 days 6 men and 16 women can do the same work in 11 days Use the following formula to solve the question: $\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{W_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{W_{2}}$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $W_1$ and $W_2$ are work done. Let the efficiency of 1 man be M. And the efficiency of 1 woman is W. According to the question, 2 men and 7 women complete a work in 28 days = 6 men and 16 women complete the same work in 11 days ⇒ (2M + 7W) × 28 = (6M + 16W) × 11 ⇒ 56M + 196W = 66M + 176W ⇒ 10M = 20W ⇒ M = 2W 2 men and 7 women = 2M + 7W ⇒ 2 men and 7 women = 4W + 7W ⇒ 2 men and 7 women = 11W 5 men and 4 women = 5M + 4W ⇒ 5 men and 4 women = 10W + 4W ⇒ 5 men and 4 women = 14W $\frac{M_1D_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2D_2}{W_2}$ ⇒ 11W × 28 = 14W × D 2 ⇒ D 2 = 22 days Hence, the correct answer is 22.
