CONCEPT: \(\frac{Manpower*Time}{Work} = Constant\)
\(\frac{(15H+5R)*30}{1} = \frac{(5H+15R)*60}{1} \)
i.e. 15H+5R = 10H+30R
i.e. H = 5R
\(\frac{(15H+5R)*30}{1} = \frac{(15H)*T}{1} \)
\(\frac{(15H+H)*30}{1} = \frac{(15H)*T}{1} \)
\(\frac{(16H)*30}{1} = \frac{(15H)*T}{1} \)
i.e. T = 32 days

We can let h = the rate of 5 humans and r = the rate of 5 robots.
3h + r = 1/30
and
h + 3r = 1/60
Multiplying the first equation by 3, we have:
9h + 3r = 1/10
Subtracting h + 3r = 1/60 from 9h + 3r = 1/10, we have:
8h = 5/60
h = 5/480 = 1/96
Since the rate of 5 humans is 1/96, the rate of 15 humans is 3 x 1/96 = 1/32. Therefore, it takes 15 humans 1 / (1/32) = 32 days to finish the job without any robots.
Answer: D
