Ten women can do a work in six days. Six men can complete the same work in five days. What is the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman?

1:2
2:1
2:3
3:2

Correct Answer: 2:1

Explanation:

(10 * 6) women can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/60

(6 * 5) men can complete the work in 1 day.

Therefore, 1 man's 1 day's work = 1/30

so, required ratio =1/30 : 1/60 = 2:1
