Question

8 men and 12 children can do a work in 9 days a child takes double the time to do work than men in how many days 12 men can complete double the work

Answer 1

Hello,

Let men do x time in finishing work. So, child will take 2x time.

Total time or energy = 8*x + 12*2x = 8x + 24x = 32x.

32x will complete work in 9 days.

x will complete in 9*32 days. ( less energy more days)

12x will complete in 9*32/12. (more energy less days)

9*32/12 = 288/12 = 24 days.

Therefore, 12 men will complete the work in 24 days.

Hope it helped you.
