A man can finish a work in 10 days and a woman can finish it in 12 days.
Concept used
Total work = Number of days × Efficiency
Calculation
Work done by man in one day = 1/10
Work done by a woman in one day = 1/12
Together they will do in: 1/10 + 1/12
= 11/60
They will together complete the work in = 60/11 days
The answer is 60/11 days.
Alternate Method

They will together complete the work in = 60/(6 + 5) = 60/11 days.
