Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 6 days
B) 12 days
C) 27 days
D) 28 days
E) None of these
Explanation:   1 man’s 1 day’s work = 1/ 36 × 12 = 1/432   10 men’s 1 day’s work = 10/432   12 women can finish the whole work in 4 × 36/3 = 48 days   1 woman’s 1 days work = 1/ 48 × 12 = 1/576   8 women’s 1 day’s work = 8/572 = 1/72   (10 men + 8 women)’s 1 day’s work = 10/432 + 1/72 = 10 + 6/432 = 16/432   = 1/27   Therefore, the required No. of days = 27 days.   Answer: Option 27 days
