Answers
Answer:
Let the work done by man and woman per day be x and y respectively.
When the work is completed in 4 days
Since 5 men and 2 women complete the work in 4 days
therefore work done by 5 men and 2 women in 1 day =
4
1
∴5x+2y=
4

⟶eq

When the work is completed in 3 days
Since 6 men and 3 women complete the work in 3 days
therefore work done by 6 men and 3 women in 1 day =
3
1
∴6x+3y=
3

⟶eq

Multiplying by 3 in eq

⇒15x+6y=

Multiplying by 2 in eq

On subtracting eq

⇒3x=

⇒x=

On substituting the value of x in eq

Thus,
work done by 1 man in 1 day =
36

days
∴ Time taken by 1 man alone to finish the work =36 days
work done by 1 woman in 1 day =
18

days
∴ Time taken by 1 woman alone to finish the work =18 days
