Question:

5 men can do a piece of work in 3 days. But 10 women can do it in 9 days. Then the ratio of the work done by 1 man and 1 woman is:

Options:

3 : 5

25 : 3

9 : 1

5 : 27

Correct Answer:

9 : 1

Explanation:

Total Work = No. of person × days

Total work ⇒      5M × 3 = 10W × 9

                ⇒              M =  9 W

⇒   M : W = 9 : 1
