Question

6 men and 4 women can do any work in 15 days. If the work done by 2 men is equal to the work done by 3 women, how many days can 8 men and 3 women do the work?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4M*16=6W*16 (since it is given that 4 men OR 6 women do a piece of work in 16 days and we are requested to find amount of work done by M(Men) and W(Women) in 1 day.

2M=3W

M/W = 3/2 unit of work done by M and W in 1 day respectively. (M=3,W=2)

Total work = put the value of M or W in 4M*16 or 6W*16.

4*3 *16 = 192

Now equate 2 men and 9 women as 2M+9W= 2*3+9*2=24.

Divide 192 by 24. You’ll get your answer as 8.

Therefore 2 men and 9 women takes 8 days to do the same work
