One Answer on this Question

1. Lets assume total LCM(5,8) = 40units.
   As, 5 men or 8 women do equal amount of work in a day,
   1 Man does 8units/day and 1 Woman does 5units/day.
   3M and 5W in 10 days do (3*8 + 5*5)*10 = 490units
   To do 490 units in 14 days, number of Women required = 490/(14*5) = 7
