22 Boys = 10 days, 25 Boys + 12 Girls = 8 days, ⇒ 22B x 10 = (25B + 12G) x 8 ⇒ 110B = 100B + 48G ⇒ 10B = 48G ⇒ B : G = 48 : 10 = 24 : 5 (Efficiencies) ⇒ Total work = 22(24) x 10 = 528 x 10 = 5280 units, ⇒ Time required by 6 Girls to complete total work = \(\frac{5280}{6(5)}\) = 176 days, ..(\(\frac{Work}{Efficiency}\) = Time) |
