    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the efficiency of a man and a woman be 'M' and 'W' units/day, respectively.

    So, 22 × 20 × M = 44 × 30 × W

    Or, M:W = 440 : 1320 = 1 : 3

    Let M = 1e and W = 3e

    Let the required time be 'T' days

    So, (1e + 3e) × T = 22 × 20 × 1e

    Or, 4T = 440

    ∴ T = 440 ÷ 4 = 110 days
