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.
