Number of days required by 2 men to finish the work : 16 days
Number of days required by 3 women to finish the work : 16 days
Number of days required by 1 man to finish the work : 2 x 16 = 32 days
Number of days required by 1 woman to finish the work : 3 x 16 = 48 days
Work done by a man in one day: \(\frac{1}{32}\)
Work done by a woman in one day: \(\frac{1}{48}\)
Work done by 4 men in one day: \(4\times\frac{1}{32}=\frac{1}{8}\)
Work done by 6 women in one day: \(6\times\frac{1}{48}=\frac{1}{8}\)
Work done by 4 men and 6 women together in one day: \(\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}\)
∴ 4 men and 6 women together take 4 days to complete the work.
