    Correct option is C

    Given:
    ​8 men can complete the work in 45 days.
    8 women can complete the work in 18 days.
    We need to find how many days it will take for 5 men and 8 women to complete the work together.
    Formula Used:
    Work done = Efficiency × time taken

    Therefore, m/w = 2/5
    Efficiency of m : w = 2 : 5
    Total work = 8 × 2 × 45
