B) 2. 2 Days
C) 3. 9/4 days
D) 4.25/17 days
E) 5.3 days
5 men or 8 women takes 5 days to complete the work   So 5M = 8W   W = 5/8M   1 man in 1 day does 1 unit of work   so 5 M in 5 M = 25 units of work   now 12 M and 8 W = 12 M + 8(5/8)M   = 12M + 5M   = 17M   Since both set do the same work   17M in n Days 12  + 5=

17M   Since both set do the same work   17M in n Days= 25 units of work   n = 25/17 days.   4.25/17 days
