In 15 days, 30 men, 15 women, and 30 children together can complete the work.

The work rates can be determined using the given information. Let the work rate of a man, woman, and child be represented by M, W, and C, respectively.

From the first scenario, we get the equation 20M+35W+20C= 1/6.

Similarly, two more equations can be formed for the other scenarios. Solving these equations provides the values for M, W, and C.

By calculating the combined work rates of 30 men, 15 women, and 30 children, and considering the total work, we find that they can complete the work in 15 days.
