Solution

10 WOMEN can complete the work in 8 days. So, NUMBER of hours required for 1 woman to complete the work = 80

Number of hours required by one child to complete the work = 120

So, 80W = 120C => 1W = 1.5C

6 women + 3 children = 9 children + 3 children = 12 children

So, 12 children take 10 days to complete the work.

Solution

Let the amount of work done by a woman in a day be W and let the amount of work done by a man in a day be M.
We need to find the value of W to be able to find the number of days it TAKES 10 women to FINISH the work.

Statement 1 implies that: $5M = \frac{1}{8}$
So, $M=\frac{1}{40}$

Statement 2 implies that: $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$

Statement 3 implies that $M+W = 3W => M=2W$

Clearly using just one statement, we can't find the value of W. But using any PAIR of statements, we can find the value of W as shown below.

Using Statement 1 and 2: $M=\frac{1}{40}$ and $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$
So, $\frac{6}{40}+4W=\frac{1}{5}$
So, $4W =\frac{1}{20}$ or $W=\frac{1}{80}$
So, 1 woman can do the work in 80 days and 10 women can do the work in 8 days.

Using Statement 1 and 3: $M=\frac{1}{40}$ and $M=2W$
So, $2W=\frac{1}{40}$ or $W=\frac{1}{80}$
So, 1 woman can do the work in 80 days and 10 women can do the work in 8 days.

Using Statement 2 and 3: $M=2W$ and $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$
So, $12W+4W = \frac{1}{5}$ or $16W=\frac{1}{5}$
So, $W=\frac{1}{80}$
So, 1 woman can do the work in 80 days and 10 women can do the work in 8 days.

As can be seen above, the question can be answered using any two statements of the three.
