We can solve this question using some common sense
In fact, we don't even need the information from the 2nd sentence (4 men can do it in 10 days. )

GIVEN: 2 men and 3 women can finish a piece of work in 10 days.

How many days can 3 men and 3 women take to finish the same work?
This new work crew has the same number of women as in the given information, AND it has 1 extra man
Since one extra man has joined the work crew, the new crew will finish the job in LESS THAN 10 days .

Only one answer choice is LESS THAN 10 days

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent
