Avoid variables and equations in these questions.
3 men + 12 women take 8 days
To complete in 1 day, we will need 24 men + 96 women
(because if time is 1/8th, number of people required will be 8 times)
2 men and 4 women take 15 days
To complete in 1 day, we need 30 men and 60 women
So 24 men + 96 women = 30 men + 60 women
1 man = 6 women
3 men and 12 women take 8 days so 18 women + 12 women i.e. 30 women take 8 days.
If we have 10 women, they will take 8 *(30/10) = 24 days.

\((3m+12w)*8=(2m+4w)*15\)
\(24m+96w=30m+60w\)
\(30m-24m=96w-60w\)
\(6m=36w\)
\(\frac{m}{w} = \frac{36}{6}=\frac{6}{1}\)
The efficiency of \(m=6\) and \(w=1\)
Substitute the value of \(m\) and \(w\) in any of the above equation to find the total work.
Total Work \(= (3*6+12*1)*8=(18+12)*8=240\)
This work is completed by \(10w \), Therefore, efficiency of \(10w= 10*1=10\)
Time taken \(=\frac{240}{10}=24\)
