Question

8 men and 12 boys can finish a piece of work in 10 days while 6 men and 8 boys can finish
it in
14days. Find the time taken by one man alone and that by one boy alone to finish the
work.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarly, if the time taken by one boy to complete the work is y days , then in one day one boy can complete 1y part of the work. Now, we have been given that 8 men and 12 boys can finish the piece of work in 10 days. And 6 men and 8 boys can finish it in 14 days. To make the equations let us assume 1x=u and 1y=v.
