Three men, four women and six children can complete a work in seven days. A woman doesΒ double the work a man does and a-child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete the work in 7 days?
According to the question:Β
Total work =Β (3M + 4W +Β 6C) * 7
Now,Β
A woman does double the work a man does, So, the ratio of efficiency of a man to that of a woman = 1: 2
M: W = 1: 2
2M = W .......... (1)
A child does half the work a man does. So, the ratio of efficiency of a man to that of child = 2: 1
M: C = 2: 1
M = 2C ....... (2)
From (1) and (2):
4C = W ....... (3)
Let the required number of women = 'x'
Now,Β
(3M + 4W + 6C) * 7 = (xW) * 7
From (1) and (3):
1.5W + 4W + 1.5WΒ = xW
7W = xW
x = 7
