Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- [d] $ \text{15 men}\times 20=\text{24 women }~\times 20 $
$ \Rightarrow $ 15 men = 24 women
$ \Rightarrow $ 5 men = 8 women Now, (10 men + 8 women) $ \times $ D = 24 women $ \times $ 20
$ \Rightarrow $ (16 women + 8 women) $ \times $ D = 24 women $ \times $ 20
$ \Rightarrow $ 24 women $ \times $ D = 24 women $ \times $ 20
$ \therefore $ D = 20 days
