Q)

6 men or 10 women can do a piece of work in 24 days. How long will 12 men and 10 women take to finish the work?


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    6 men = 10 women

    ∴ 1 man =106or 53women

    Now, 12 men + 10 women=12×53women+ 10 women

                    ⇒ 20 women+ 10 women = 30 women

    According to the formula,

    M1 D1 W2 = M2 D2 W1

    Here,

    M1 = 10, D1 =24, W1 =1,

    M2 = 30, D2 = ?, W= 1 

    10×24×1=30×D2×1 D2=10×2430=8 days

     Hence, option A is the correct.
