You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10+15=25 people
Here we make the gross judgment that all men and women work at the same rate and ability.
25*30=750 work hours
12+27=39
750/39=19.23 days almost 19 1/4 days

--------------
No info is given on any difference between the rate of the men and women, so it must be assumed to be equal.

25*30 = 750 man-days total
750/39 =~ 19.23 days
