Answer»

Given : 3 men or 5 women can do a work in 12 days.

Required : how long will 6 men and 5 women take to do it.

Since 3 men's work = 5 women's work

Therefore, 1 man's work = 5/3 women's work

6 men is equivant to 6*5/3 = 10 women

Total workers in term of women available for work are 10 +5 = 15 women

5 women can complete in 12 days

1 woman can complete 12*5 = 60 days

Therefore, 15 women can complete the work in 60/15 = 4 days

Thus, the work can be completed by 6men and 5 women working together in 4 days.
