Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • 18 women = 10 man

$ \therefore $ 1 woman $ =\frac{10}{18} $ man $ =\frac{5}{9} $ man

$ \Rightarrow $ 12 women $ =\frac{5}{9}\times 12 $ man

$ \therefore $ B men and 12 women $ =( 6+\frac{20}{3} ) $ man $ =\frac{38}{3} $ men Let the number of days be x. Then, $ \frac{\frac{38}{3}}{10}=\frac{38}{x} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=30 $ days
