here is ur answer. hope u understood this answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ratio of the capacity of a man and a woman is 4 : 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of days taken by 20 women to finish work = 16

Number of days taken by 16 men to finish work = 15

To find: Ratio of the capacity of a man and a women.

Work done by 20 women in a day = 1/16

Work Done by 1 woman in a day = 1/(16 × 20) = 1/320

Work done by 16 men in a day = 1/15

Work Done by 1 man in a day = 1/(15 × 16) = 1/240

Thus, ratio of their capacity = 1/240 : 1/320

                                              = 320 : 240

                                              = 4 : 3

Therefore, Ratio of the capacity of a man and a woman is 4 : 3.
