6m+8w=15⇒90m+120w=1⇒9m+12w=10  Ans- 10 days

$$\mathrm{6m}+\mathrm{8w}=\mathrm{15}\Rightarrow\mathrm{90m}+\mathrm{120w}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{9m}+\mathrm{12w}=\mathrm{10} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Ans}-\:\mathrm{10}\:\mathrm{days} \\ $$

10 days is correct.  if we don′t use math. eqn. but only  human logic, we know the answer  quickly:  with 9 men and 12 women, we have  (3/2) as much power as with 6 men and  8 women, therefore we need only (2/3)  as much time as before. if we need  15 days before, then we need only  10 days now.    if we double the power, i.e. with  12 men and 16 women, then we need only  half of the time as before, i.e. 7.5 days.    if we want to do the job in only 5 days,  we must have triple power as before,  i.e. we need 18 men and 24 women.

Let: the speed of men is − v_1  and the  woman − v_2  and the work − S. So, we get:  (6v_1 +8v_2 )∙15=S ⇒ we must find:A=(S/(9v_1 +12v_2 ))=?  (6v_1 +8v_2 )∙15=S⇒ (3v_1 +4v_2 )∙30=S⇒  ⇒ 3v_1 +4v_2 =(S/(30)) ∣×3⇒9v_1 +12v_2 =(S/(10))⇒  ⇒A=(S/(9v_1 +12v_2 ))=(S/(S/(10)))=10 days.  I don′t know English perfect so  I apologise

say a man can do m things each day,  and a woman can do w things each day.  for the job totally there are s things  to do.  6 men and 9 women need 15 days, i.e.  (6m+8w)15=s   ...(i)  say 9 men and 12 women need x days, i.e.  (9m+12w)x=s   ...(ii)  (ii)/(i):  ((3x)/(2×15))=1  ⇒x=10 days
