Two men and 10 women working together can do a job in 15 days. The same job is done by 6 men in 'X' days and 20 women in 'X+5' days. Find efficiency of women is how much % of a man? |
25% 20% 500% 100% |
20% |
Total work = Efficiency × Number of days (2M + 10W) × 15 = Total work total work = 30M + 150W According to question , 6M X = 20 W (X+5) ⇒ 6M = \(\frac{20W}{X}\) (X + 5) ------ (i) 30 M + 150 W = 6 MX (Total work is same) 150 W = 6M X - 30 M 150 W = 6M [X-5] ------ (ii) Put the value of 6M from eqn (i) in eqn (ii) 150 W = \(\frac{20W}{X}\) (x+5) (X-5) 15W X = 2W (X+5) (X-5) 15 X = 2 (X2 - 25) 2X2 - 15X - 50 = 0 After solving X = 10 from eqn (i) 6M = \(\frac{20 W}{10}\) (10+5) 6M = 2W × 15 ⇒ \(\frac{M}{W}\) = \(\frac{5}{1}\) Required % = \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 100 = 20 % |
