D) 4
Explanation: 2m + 6w = 10 D Or 2(1m + 3w) = 10D Or 1m + 3w = 20D So 5(1m + 3w) = 20/5 Or 5m + 15w = 4D

Given: A job that can be completed by 2 men and 6 women in 10 days.
To find: The number of days it will take 5 men and 15 women to complete the same job.
Let's assume that the work to be done is 'W'.
Hence, we can write that:
2M + 6W = W (Work done by 2 men and 6 women in 10 days)
Solving this equation, we get:
1M + 3W = (1/20)W
Now, we need to find the number of days required to complete the work by 5 men and 15 women.
Let the number of days required be 'D'.
Hence, we can write that:
5M + 15W = W (Work done by 5 men and 15 women in D days)
Solving this equation, we get:
1M + 3W = (1/3)W
Now, equating the two equations we get:
(1/20)W = (1/3)W
Solving for W, we get:
W = 0
This means that the work cannot be completed by both the groups, as the work required is 0.
Therefore, the answer is 'Cannot be determined'.
