    D 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total work done by 28 men and 40 women is equal. Therefore, efficiency of men and women 28 × M × 20 = 40 × W × 28 M : W = 2 : 1 Let Total work = 28 × 2 × 20 = 1120 unit Work done by 20 men and 12 women in 16 days = (20 × 2 + 12 × 1) × 16 = 832 unit Remaining work = 1120 – 832 = 288 unit Total Efficiency (inclusive of 20 women) = 52 + (20 × 1) = 72 Remaining work done in = 288/72 = 4 days
