To complete a project, 18 women take 4 more days than the number of days taken by 12 men. If eight men complete the project in 9 days, how much work will be left when 15 women and 12 men together work for 3 days ?
Using : $$\frac{M_1 \times D_1}{W_1} = \frac{M_2 \times D_2}{W_2}$$
Acc to ques,
=> $$\frac{8 \times 9}{1} = \frac{12 \times D_2}{1}$$
=> $$D_2 = \frac{72}{12} = 6$$
=> Time taken by 18 women = $$6 + 4 = 10$$ days
=> $$(12 \times 6) men \equiv (18 \times 10) women$$
= $$2 men \equiv 5 women$$
We need to find for 15 women and 12 men
= $$(6 + 12) = 18 men$$
Acc to ques,
=> $$\frac{12 \times 6}{1} = \frac{18 \times 3}{W_2}$$
=> $$W_2 = \frac{54}{72} = \frac{3}{4}$$
$$\therefore$$ Work left = $$1 - \frac{3}{4}$$
= $$\frac{1}{4}$$
