Practicing Success
3 men and 7 women can complete a task in 10 days. On the other hand, 4 men and 6 women, take 8 days to complete the same task. How long will it take 10 women to complete the same task? |
36 days 43 days 48 days 40 days |
40 days |
3M + 7W = 10 days, 30M + 70W ..(1) (Multiplied by 10 to get it done in 1 day) 4M + 6W = 8 days, 32M + 48W ..(2) (Multiplied by 8 to get it done in 1 day) Now, (1) - (2), we get ⇒ 2M = 22W ⇒ M : W = 22 : 2 = 11 : 1 (Efficiencies) Putting efficiency in equation (1), and we get the total work ⇒ [30 (11) + 70 (1)] = 400 units. ⇒ Time required by 10 Women to complete the work = \(\frac{400}{10(1)}\) = 40 days, ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
