The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the work done by one woman in one day. Given that a woman can complete the work in 30 days, we can find the work done by one woman in one day. \[ \text{Work done by 1 woman in 1 day} = \frac{1}{30} \] ### Step 2: Determine the work done by one man in one day. The ratio of work efficiency of a man to a woman is given as \(3:2\). This means if a woman does \(\frac{1}{30}\) of the work in a day, then a man does: \[ \text{Work done by 1 man in 1 day} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{30} = \frac{3}{60} = \frac{1}{20} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the work done by 4 men and 4 women in one day. Now, we can find the total work done by 4 men and 4 women in one day. \[ \text{Total work done by 4 men in 1 day} = 4 \times \frac{1}{20} = \frac{4}{20} = \frac{1}{5} \] \[ \text{Total work done by 4 women in 1 day} = 4 \times \frac{1}{30} = \frac{4}{30} = \frac{2}{15} \] Now, we add the work done by 4 men and 4 women: \[ \text{Total work done by 4 men and 4 women in 1 day} = \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{15} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 15 is 15. \[ \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{15} \] So, \[ \frac{1}{5} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{3}{15} + \frac{2}{15} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 4: Determine how many days it takes for 4 men and 4 women to complete the work. If 4 men and 4 women can complete \(\frac{1}{3}\) of the work in one day, then to complete the entire work, it will take: \[ \text{Number of days} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}} = 3 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, 4 men and 4 women can complete the work in **3 days**. ---
