Practicing Success
If one man or two women or four boys or five girls can finish a work in 39 days, then how many days will one man, one woman, one boy and one girl together take to finish the same work? |
40 10 30 20 |
20 |
According to the question, 1M = 2W = 4B = 5G Ratio of efficiency M : W : B : G 20 : 10 : 5 : 4 Total work = No. of labour x efficiency x no. of days (using the efficiency of a man) = 20 x 39 = 780 Efficiency of 1M + 1W + 1B + 1G = 20 + 10 + 5 + 4 = 39 Time taken = $\frac{Total\; work}{efficiency}$ = $\frac{780}{39}$ = 20 days
