    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    1 woman's 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } {70 } \)

     

    1 child's 1 day's work =\( \frac { 1 } {140 } \)

     

    (5 women + 10 children)'s day's work =[\(\frac { 5 } { 70 } \)+\( \frac { 10 } {140 } ]\)=[\( \frac { 1 } { 14 } \)+\( \frac { 1 } { 14 } \)]=\( \frac { 1 } { 7 } \)

     

     5 women and 10 children will complete the work in 7 days.
