10
24

Solution :8 WOMEN can do a work in 6 days.
`THEREFORE` 2 women can do same work in `(8xx6)/2 = 24` days
`therefore` 2 women can do 1/24 work in 1 DAY.
`therefore` (2 women + 10 children) can do a work in 8 days.
`therefore` (2 women + 10 children)'s 1 days work 1/8
10 Children 1 day work
`=1/8-1/24=1/12` work
Hence 10 children can do same work in 12 days.
