Answer 1

Answer:

12 men can reap the field in 14 days. That means that the average man reaps 1/(12x14) or 1/168 of the field per day, and 8 men reap 8/168, or 1/21 of the field per day.

18 women can reap the field in 14 days. So the average woman reaps 1/(18x14) or 1/252 of the field per day, and 16 women reap 16/252 of the field per day.

1/21 = 12/252

12/252 + 16/252 = 28/252 = 1/9 of the field is reaped by the group each day.

It will take 9 days to reap the field.
