Question

6 Men And 8 Women Can Do As Much Work In A Given Time As 3 Men And 13 Women. The Capacities Of A Man And A Woman Are In The Ratio?

Answer 1

Answer: 5:3

Step-by-step explanation:

• Given,6 Men And 8 Women do the same amount of work as 3 Men And 13 Women, in a given time.

• According to question,

        6M + 8W = 3M + 13W

     ⇒6M-3M = 13W-8W

     ⇒3M=5W

     ⇒$\frac{M}{W}=\frac{5}{3}$

      ∴ M:W=5:3

• Hence,the ratio of capacities of Man and Woman is 5:3.
