Question

12 men or 16 women can do a piece of work in 18 days. in how many days can 9 men and 24 women can do the work?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let no. of men be x

no. of women be y.

12x + 16y = 18

6x + 4y = 9

9x + 24y = ?

One more equation is required to find answer.

I think the information is insufficient to find answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 men=16 women

1 man=16/12 women

9 men=(16/12×9) women

=12 women

(9 men+24 women)=(12 women+24 women)

=36 women

If

16 women can do work in no. of days=18 days

1 woman can do it in=18×16

so,36 women can do it in=18×16/36

=8 days
