The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5.33 hours.
Suppose a man is doing 'm' units/hour, a woman is doing 'w' units/hour and a child is doing 'c' units/hour
According to the question,
8 × m × 2 = 4 × w × 3 = 6 × c × 4
Thus, the ratio of the work done by a man, woman, and child = 3 : 4 : 2 respectively.
Let the work done by man = 3 units/day
Let the work done by women = 4 units/day
Let the work done by the child = 2 units/day
So total work done = 8 × 3 × 2 = 48 units
Thus, if the same work is done by a man, a woman, and a child then the total time taken = 48/(3 + 4 + 2) = 48/9 = 5.33 hours
