Question

5 men are working to complete a work in 15 days. After 5 days 10 women are accompanied by them to complete the work in next 5 days. If the work is to be done by women only, then in how many days could the work be over if 10 women have started it?

Answer 1

another day started in women

Answer 2

10 women can complete the work in 15 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that 5 men can complete the work in 15 days.

Work done by 5 men in 1 day  is:  $\frac{1}{15}$

Work done by 5 men in 10 days :  $\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$

Now the remaining work is: $1-\frac{2}{3}=\frac{1}{3}$

The remaining work completed by 10 women in 5 days .

That means work done by 10 women in 5 days  is: $\frac{1}{3}$

So work done by 10 women in 1 day is: $\frac{1}{3\times5} =\frac{1}{15}$

Hence, 10 women can complete the work in 15 days.
