Question

2 women and 5 men can finish a work in 4 days while 3 women and 6 men can finish a work in 3 days . find the time taken by 1 woman and 1 man to do the work alone.

Answer 1

I think womqn 36days and man 18 days

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3,y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the work done by men be x days

let the work done by women be y days

then,

work done in one day by one man =1/x

work done in one day by one women=1/y

so,

work done by 3 men in one day=3/x

work done by 2 women in one day=2/y

3/x+2/6=1/15----------(1)

similarly,

work done by 2 men in one day=2/x

work done by 3 women in one day=3/x

we get,

2/x+3/y=1/18-----------(2)

by solving this equation we'll get the value of x & y
