B I and II only

C II and III only

D I and III only

E None of these

ANS:A - Any two of the three

  I. (10 x 6) men can complete the work in 1 day.

       1 man's 1 day's work = 1
60
 II. 10 x 24 men + 10 x 24 women can complete the work in 1 day.
7 7
       240 men's 1 day work + 240 women's 1 day work = 1.
7 7
       240 x 1 + 240 women's 1 day's work = 1.
7 60 7
       240 women's 1 day's work = 1 - 4 = 3
7 7 7
       10 women's 1 day's work = 3 x 7 x 10 = 1
7 240 8
      So, 10 women can finish the work in 8 days. III. (10 men's work for 3 days) + (10 women's work for 4 days) = 1        (10 x 3) men's 1 day's work + (10 x 4) women's 1 day's work = 1        30 men's 1 day's work + 40 women's 1 day's work = 1       Thus, I and III will give us the answer.       And, II and III will give us the answer.        Correct answer is (A).
