Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

64 woman

Answer 2

The answer is 24 women

GIVEN

Number of women required to dig a well in 50 days = 64

TO FIND

Number of women that can take leave.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

Let us assume digging a well corresponds to 1 unit of work.

We know that,

Work = Number of women × Time

1 = 64 × 50 (Equation 1)

Now it is given that the same work has to be completed in 80 days.

Let the number of women required to the work be x

Therefore,

$1 = 80 \times x$

Since work done is same,

Therefore,

$64 \times 50 = 80 \times x$

$x = \frac{64 \times 50}{80}$

$= 40$

So, 40 women are required to the same work in 80 days.

So number of women that can take leave = 64-40 = 24

Hence, The answer is 24 women
