Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- According to the question, Number of days $ (M _1+W _1) $ = Number of days $ (M _2+W _2) $ 10 (2 men + 3 women) = 8 (3 men + 2 women)
$ \Rightarrow $ 20 men + 30 women = 24 men + 16 women
$ \Rightarrow $ 4 men =14 women
$ \Rightarrow $ 2 men = 7 women
$ \therefore $ 2 men + 3 women = 10 women
$ \therefore $ 2 men + 1 woman = 8 women By the formula, $ M _1D _1=M _2D _2 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 10\times 10=8\times D _2 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ D _2=\frac{25}{2}=12\frac{1}{2}days $
