Question

12 men or 18 women in 14 days to reap a field. in how many days 8 men and 16 women reap the same field

Answer 1

We solve it by short trick-

12 m or 18 w take 14 days to complete a work.

=12*18*14

In how many days 8 m and 16 w can complete that work.

=12 m*16 w

=192

=18 w*8 m

=144

=192+144

=336

So we start to solve-

=12*18*14/336

=12*18/24

=18/2

=9 days
