The work done by a woman in 8 hours is equal to the work done by a man in 6 hours and by a boy in 12 hours. If working 6 hours per day 9 men can complete a work in 6 days, then in how many days can 12 men, 12 women and 12 boys together finish the same work, working 8 hours per day ?
Let men be M and boy be B and women be W.
6M=8F=12B
So,
3m =4f =6b .....(1)
X = 12m+12f+12b ........(2)
On solving, we get
1m=2b
1f=6/4b
So putting in equation 2, we get
X= 24b + 18b + 12b
X = 54b
So, 9m *6 *6 = X * 8*D (let D be the number of days)
54*6 * 2b =54b*8*D
D = 3/2 = 1.5 days
