D Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E Neither I nor II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

From statement I: 4M + 6W = 20 --------(i) From Statement II: 2M = 3W--------(i) Combining statements, I and II, we will get the answer W = 2M/3 putting the value of W in equation i 4M + 6 × 2M/3 = 20 8M = 20 M = 20×8 10M = (20×8)÷ 10 = 16 days
