Explanation

Let m, w, b be work per day by man, woman, boy. From (1): 2m + 3w = 0.25W/8 = W/32. From (2): 6m + 12b = 0.2W/4 = W/20. From (1) and (2), if m = w, then 5m = W/32, so m = W/160. Then 6(W/160) + 12b = W/20, giving b = W/120. For 40% work: (8m + 3w + 12b) × days = 0.4W. Substituting: (11m + 12b) = 11(W/160) + 12(W/120) = 11W/160 + W/10 = 27W/160. Days = 0.4W / (27W/160) = 64/27 ≈ 2.37 days. But answer is 5, suggesting different work rate assumptions.
