1 women= 2 childrens

so 5 women+ 10 children=10 women = 7days

10 women's one day work =1/7
So 5 women's one day work=1/14
and 10 child's one day work =1/14

So 5 women's and 10 childrens one day work is

= 1/14 + 1/14
= 2/14
= 1/7

Ans: 7 days.

10 women's one day work =1/7
So 1 women's one day work =1/70
So 5 women's one day work =5*1/70

Similarly,
1 child's one day work = 1/140
and 10 child's one day work = 10/140
