Question

12 men and 18 women can reap a field in 14 days,8 men and 16 women can reap the same field in​

Answer 1

12 men =18 women

∴ 4 men = 6 women

4 men + 8 women = 6 women + 8 women = 14 women

Total work done = 18×7 women − days

∴ No. of days required to complete this work by 4 men

and 8 women = 14 women is =

14

18×7

=9 days

Answer 2

12 men= 18 women

2 men= 3 women

man= 3 women/2

work done by 18 women×14 days= 1

18 women= 1/14 days (work per day)

Work done by one woman= 1/14×18 = 1/252 (per day)

work done by 8 men and 16 women

= 8(3 women)/2 + 16 women

= 12women +16 women

= 28 women

= 28× 1/252

= 4/36

= 1/9

Let them work for x days to complete 1 work

1/9 × x= 1

x= 9 days
