Correct Answer: 66. (5)

Solution: 66. (5) III. $3 \mathrm{~W}=2 \mathrm{~M}$

$\therefore 6 \mathrm{~W}=4 \mathrm{M}$ and $9 \mathrm{~W}=6 \mathrm{M}$

$14 \mathrm{M}+9 \mathrm{~W}=14+9=23 \mathrm{M}$

$11 \mathrm{M}+6 \mathrm{~W}=11+6=17 \mathrm{M}$

20 men can do the work in 15 days.

$\therefore \quad 15$ men can do the work in 10 days

$\frac{15 \times 20}{15}=20$ days
