    Correct Option - 3


    Detailed Solution:

    (c):We have 4 men = 5 women 1 man = 5 4 women, 2 women = 4 boys, 1 women = 2 boys 5 4  women = 2 * 5 4  boys = 5 2  or 1 man = 5 4 women = 3 2  boys

    Now 2M + 3W+ 4B = 2 * B + 3 * 2B + 4B = 15 B Boys

    Or 15 Boys do the work in 10 days (10 hectares) 6M + 4W + 7B = (6 * + 4 * 2 + 7) B = 30

    Boys 30 boys will do 16 hectares of work in 8 days.
