    Workspace

    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    (20 x 16) women can complete the work in 1 day.

     1 woman's 1 day's work = 1 .
    320

    (16 x 15) men can complete the work in 1 day.

     1 man's 1 day's work = 1
    240
    So, required ratio
    = 1 : 1
    240 320
     
    = 1 : 1
    3 4
      = 4 : 3 (cross multiplied)
