    A 5(1/2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    LCM (20, 30) = 60 Let the total work be the LCM of the time taken by the individuals. Hence, the total work = 60 units Efficiencies, 1 man does each day = 60 / 20 = 3 units 1 woman do each day = 60/30 = 2 units Time taken by the mentioned workforce to finish the work = 60 /(2×3+3x2) = 5 days
