Question

12 men can complete a piece of work in 36 days. 18 women can complete the same piece of work in 60 days. 8 men and 20 women work together for 20 days. if only women were to complete the remaining piece of work in 4 days , how many women would be required?​

Answer 1

12+18=30

36+60=96

therefore, 8+20=28-20=8

let x women is required to make piece in 4 days

therefore 12+8+18x+20x=20+60+36

20+38x=116

38x=116-20

X=96/38

X=26
