The ratio of the rate of doing work of a woman and a man is 2:1
Also given that, 6 women complete a piece of work in 20 days.
We have to calculate the number of days in which they will complete the work, if 2 women and 6 men work together.
Let No. of days = d
2 women and and 6 men means 2 women and 12 women
So, total No. of women = 14
Now, we form an equation from the given condition,
(14) d = 6 x 20
(14) d = 120
d = 120/14
d = 8.5
or d = 9 approximately
Hence, No. of days = 9
This is the required answer.
