Question 87

2 men and 3 women can do a particular work in 10 days, whereas 4 men can do that work in 10 days. Then in how many days can 3 men and 3 women complete the same work ?

Solution

2 men+3 women complete the work in 10 days.

2 men +3 women =10 days

4 men = 10 days

So equate both equation

2 men + 3 women =4 men

3 women = 2 men

men/women=3/2

Total work is= (2 m+3 w) ×10 days =(2×3+3×2)×10=12×10=120

So 3 men + 3 women=3×3+3×2=15

So 120/15=8 days.
