A. 6

B. 24

C. 34

D. 12

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Work Rate of Man and Women,
(2/m) + (5/w) = 1/(4*3) ------------------------- (1)

(3/m) + (5/w) = 1/(4*2) -------------------------- (2)

(2) - (1),

1/m = 1/24

m = 24.
It means one man needs 24 days to complete the work so work to be completed in 4 days, we need

24/4 = 6 men.
