8 days

B.

Correct option is B

Given:

3 men and 4 women can finish a work in 7 days.

2 men and 1 women can finish same work in 14 days

Formula Used:

Work done = Number of workers×Efficiency of each worker×TimeNumber \ of \ workers \times Efficiency \ of\ each \ worker\times Time​​

Solution:

Let the efficiency of a man and a boy be M and W respectively.

According to the question,

(3×M+4×W)×7=(2×M+1×W)×14(3 \times M + 4 \times W) \times 7 = (2 \times M + 1 \times W) \times 14​​

M = 2W

Total work is:

(3×2W+4×W)×7(3\times 2W + 4 \times W) \times 7​​

10W×710W \times 7​​

= 70W

Time taken by 7 women will be = 70W7=10days \frac{70W}{7} = 10days​​
