Work done by 2 men in 1 day = 1/12

Work done by 3 women in 1 day = 1/15

Work done by (2 men + 3 women + 5 children) in 1 day = 1/5

∴ Work done by 5 children in 1 day = 1/5 – 1/12 – 1/15 = 1/20

⇒ 5 children alone can do the work in 20 days

Ratio of their time (2 Men ? 3 Women ? 5 Children) = 12 ? 15 ? 20

We know, efficiency is inversely proportional to the time

∴ Ratio of their efficiency (2 Men ? 3 Women ? 5 Children) = 1/12 ? 1/15 ? 1/20 = 5 ? 4 ? 3

So, 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 unit = 12000

⇒ 3 unit = 3000

⇒ Share of 5 children is 3000

∴ Share of 1 child = 3000/5 = 600
