done by a man with that done by a boy.
(a) 1:2 (b) 1:3 (c) 2:1 (d) 3:1​

Answer 1

Answer:

solving this x =25/3 days so 7 men and 10 boys will have to work for 25/3 days to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

5(12M+ 16B) = 4(13M + 24B) since the same work is done they will be equal

60M + 80B = 52M + 96B

8M = 16B or M = 2B substitute 2B = M and you will get the total man-days required to do the job and it is

5( 12M + 8M) = 100 man-days

so,

x(7M+10B) = 100M

x(7M+5M)=100M
