Answer 2

Answer:

108 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

2 men or 6 women or 4 boys can finish a work in 99 days,

⇒ 2 men = 6 woman = 4 boys,

⇒ 1 men = 3 woman = 2 boys.

⇒ 1 men = 2 boys and 1 woman = 2/3 boys

Thus, The time taken by one man, one woman and one boy together take to finish the work,

= The time taken by ( 2 + 2/3 + 1 ) boys to finish the work

= The time taken by 11/3 boys to finish the work

Since, 4 boys can finish the work in 99 days.

Let x be the time taken by 11/3 boys to finish the same work,

x × 11/3 = 4 × 99

⇒ x = 108 days.

Hence, one man, one woman and one boy together take to finish the same work in 108 days.
