5 women take to finish the work?
dus h 10 days
(c) 15 days (d) 20 days​

Answer 1

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Men are 5/3 times as fast as Women.

3 Men = 5 Women,

3*12 = 3 men * 12 days = 36 man days.

5*12 = 60 women days.

5 women = 3 men, substitute into 2nd scenario,

6 Men + 3 Men = 9 Men.

3 Men take 12 days, therefore triple the men (9), third the time (4).

It will take 4 days.
