If 5 men can complete a work in 6 days, and 10 women can complete the same work in 5 days, in how many days can 5 men and 5 women complete the work together?
Explanation:
Efficiency of 5 men = 1/6. Efficiency of 10 women = 1/5, so efficiency of 5 women = 1/10. Combined efficiency of 5 men and 5 women = 1/6 + 1/10 = (5 + 3) / 30 = 8 / 30 = 4 / 15. Time taken together = 15 / 4 = 3.75 days.
