Answer
Step-by-step solution
7 stepsDetermine the daily work rate of 10 men.
10 men can complete the work in 15 days.
So, in 1 day, 10 men complete of the work.Determine the daily work rate of 15 women.
15 women can complete the work in 12 days.
So, in 1 day, 15 women complete of the work.Calculate the combined daily work rate of 10 men and 15 women.
When working together, their daily work rates add up.
Combined daily work rateAdd the fractions by finding a common denominator.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 12 is 60.
Simplify the combined daily work rate.
So, 10 men and 15 women together complete of the work in 1 day.
Calculate the total number of days to complete the entire work.
If they complete of the work in 1 day, then the total time to complete the work is the reciprocal of their daily work rate.
Time taken days.Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number.
Comparing this with the given options:
a) days
b) days
c) days
d) None of these
The calculated answer matches option a).
The final answer is .
