If 6 women can complete a work in 3 days, and 9 girls can complete the same work in 2 days, then find the time taken to complete the same work by 8 women and 6 girls?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
6 Women = 3d .. (1)
9 Girls = 2d .. (2)
8 Women + 6 Girls = ?
using formula M1D1n1 = M2D2n2,
where M = no. of men
D = no. of days
n = efficiency
Putting values in formula and solving it we get,
6 x 3 x n1 = 9 x 2 x n2
n1 : n2
1 : 1
Time x Efficiency = Total work
putting in equation (1),
6(1) x 3 = 18
Therefore time taken by 8W and 6G to complete the same work is,
= \(\frac{18}{8(1)+6(1)}\)
= \(\frac{18}{14}\) = \(\frac{9}{7}\),
Answer is \(\frac{9}{7}\) days.
