    Solution

    Let efficiency of a men and a boy is ‘x’ units per day and ‘y’ units per day.

    According to question:

    (6x + 8y) × 10 = (26x + 48y) × 2

    30x + 40y = 26x + 48y

    4x = 8y

    x = 2y

    Total work = (6x + 8y) × 10 = 20y × 10 = 200y units

    Efficiency of 15 men and 20 boys = 15x + 20y = 50y per day

    Require time = 200y/50y = 4 days
