Solution

The problem can be solved by setting up equations based on the information given and then solving for the variables.

Let's denote the working capacity of a man as M and the working capacity of a boy as B.

According to the problem, 5 men and 2 boys working together can do four times as much work as a man and a boy. This can be written as:

5M + 2B = 4(M + B)

Solving this equation gives:

5M + 2B = 4M + 4B M = 2B

So, the working capacities of a man and a boy are in the ratio 2:1. Therefore, the correct answer is 02:01.
