8 person can finish a piece of work in 16 days, in how many days can the same work can done by 16 person
​

Answer 1

Answer:

8 men take 16 days so 4 (half of 8) take 16x2=32 days or 4 men do 1/32nd part /day of the job ,

16 women take 24 days , so 8 women (half of 16) will take 24x2= 48 days . Or 1/48th part/day .

So together they do 1/32+1/48= 5/96th part/day .

So they will take 96/5 =19.2 days to complete it .//
