Given:

4m + 6w = 8 days        ----(1)

3m + 7w = 10 days        ----(2)

Formula used:

Total work = Efficiency × days

Calculations:

By solving equations (1) and (2)

⇒ (4m + 6w) × 8 = (3m + 7w) × 10

⇒ 16m + 24w = 15m + 35w

⇒ 16m - 15m = 35w - 24w

⇒ m = 11w

⇒ m/w = 11/1

⇒ Total work = (4 × 11 + 6) × 8

⇒ Total work = 400 unit

⇒ Time taken by 10 woman = 400/10

⇒ Time taken by 10 woman  = 40 days

∴ 10 women can complete the work in 40 days.
