Question

if 6 men or 8 women can finish the work in 12 days ,9 men and 12 women will finish the work in nearby​

Answer 1

There is a trick here with the play of words - OR and AND.

6 MEN OR 8 WOMEN

means that each man completes the 1/(6*12) of the work per day

OR each women completes 1/(8*12) of the work per day

9 MEN AND 12 WOMEN completes …..

9 * 1/(6*12) + 12* 1/(8*12) of the work per day.

Note that we add these 2 fractions because of the word ‘AND’ .

that gives us a simple fraction of 1/4 of the work per day.

Thus reversing it, gives you time taken = 4 days to complete the work.

Hope that clarifies.
