Question:

35 girls can complete a piece of work in 12 days. If 5 fewer girls are put on the work, in how many days can they complete the work?

Options:

12

15

13

14

Correct Answer:

14

Explanation:

Formula to be used,

\( { M}_{1 } \) x \( { D}_{1 } \)  = \( { M}_{2 } \) x \( { D}_{2 } \)

where, M = No. of Women, D = No. of Days,

⇒ 35 x 12 = 30 x \( { D}_{2 } \)

\( { D}_{2 } \) = 14 days.
