Practicing Success
3 men and 4 women can do a work in 12 days. 5 men and 3 women can do that work in 10 days. Only 11 women can finish the same work in |
\(\frac{60}{7}\) days \(\frac{63}{7}\) days \(\frac{71}{6}\) days \(\frac{75}{6}\) days |
\(\frac{60}{7}\) days |
According to the question, (3M + 4W) x 12 = (5M + 3W) x 10 (Men x days = Work) 36M + 48W = 50M + 30W 18W = 14M M = \(\frac{9}{7}\)W Total Work = (3M + 4W) x 12 = (3 x \(\frac{9}{7}\)W + 4W) x 12 = \(\frac{55\; \times\; 12}{7}\)W Time taken by 11 women to complete the work = \(\frac{Work}{Women}\) = \(\frac{(55\; \times\; 12)W}{7\; \times\; 11W}\) = \(\frac{60}{7}\) days |
