Question

If 6 men or 8 children complete one task in 24 days then how many days will be required to complete the task for 7 men and 12 children??

Answer 1

Answer:

9 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

If 6 men or 8 children complete one task in 24 days then how many days will be required to complete the task for 7 men and 12 children??

Now given  

6 men = 8 children

1 men = 8/6 = 4/3 children

7 men = (4/3) x 7 = 28/3 children

Now total children will be 28 / 3 + 12 = 64/3

8 children can complete the task in 24 days.

Therefore 64 / 3 children can complete the task in 24 x 8 x 3 / 64 = 9 days.

Hence 7 men and 12 children can complete the work in 9 days.
