Please post your full solution. People actually post problems, because they do not know how to approach or solve the full problem(and sometimes to share good problems).
If they just needed an answer, they would just use a computer. So kindly practice posting full solutions.

Here's a full solution-
If $7$ people need $7$ days to make $7$ katha, then it will take $7.7=49$ days for $1$ person to make $7$ katha (since the workload will $7$ times more)
So it will take that person $\frac{49}7 = 7$ days to sew each katha. ($7$ times less workload)
Therefore it takes $5*7=35$ days for the person to sew $5$ katha. ($5$ times more workload)
Now if we increase the number of sewers to $5$, the workload will be reduced $5$ times.
So, the time needed for $5$ people to sew $5$ katha will be $\frac{35}5 = \boxed 7$ days.

If 7 people need 7 days to make 7 katha, then it will take 77=49 days for 1 person to make 7 katha (since the workload will 7 times more)
So it will take that person 749=7 days to sew each katha. (7 times less workload)
Therefore it takes 57=35 days for the person to sew 5 katha. (5 times more workload)
Now if we increase the number of sewers to 5 , the workload will be reduced 5 times.
So, the time needed for 5 people to sew 5 katha will be 535=7 days.

7 women make 7 Nokshikatha in 7 days,
So 7 women make 1 Nokshikatha in 7/7 days
So 1 Women make 1 Nokshikatha in (7*7)/7 days or 7 days

Now 5 women make 1 Nokshikatha in 7*5 days
And 5 women make 5 Nokshikatha in (7*5)/5 days or 7 days.
