Question

1. If 2 men and 8 women can finish a piece of work in 15 days whereas 8 men and 16
women can finish the same work in 6 days, then
a. according to the amount of work done, 3 men are equivalent to how many women?
b. find the time taken by 9 men and 4 women to complete the same work.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The data in question is inconsistent.

How can more people take more days to complete given work ?

Let m & w represent one day work of men & women respectively.

2m + 3w = 1/4 & 6m + 14w = 1/5

=> 6m + 9w = 3/4 & 6m + 14w = 1/5

5w = 1/5 - 3/4 < 0

=> Women do destructive work.
