Question

36. 2 women and 5 men can together finish an embroidery work in 4 days, while 3 women and 6 men can
finish it in 3 days. Find the time taken by 1 woman alone to finish the work, and also that taken by 1
man alone.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let time taken by women be x

and time taken by men y

so

2x+5y=4. (equation 1)

3x+6y=3. (equation 2)

now solve equation 1 and 2

multiply eq 1 by 3 and eq 2 by 2

you will get y=3 and putting y=3 in equation 2 we get

x=5

so 1 women will take 5 days and 1 man will take 3 day
