8 men and 12 women finish a job in 4 days. While 6 men and 14 women in 5 days. In how many days will 20 women finish the job? |
10 20 30 15 |
20 |
8M + 12W = 4 days, 32M + 48W ..(1) (Multiplied by 4 to get it done in 1 day) 6M + 14W = 5 days, 30M + 70W ..(2) (Multiplied by 5 to get it done in 1 day) Now, (1) - (2), we get, ⇒ 2M = 22W ⇒ M : W = 22 : 2 = 11 : 1 (Efficiencies) Putting efficiency in equation (1), and we get the total work ⇒ [32 (11) + 48(1)] = 400 units. ⇒ Hence, 20 Women can finish the job in = \(\frac{400}{20(1)}\) = 20 days.
