Question:

15 men and 25 women together can complete a work in 5 days. It takes 90 days for one man alone to complete the same work. How many days will be required for one woman alone to complete the same work?

Options:

570

750

280

225

Correct Answer:

750

Explanation:

According to question ,

( 15M + 25W ) × 5 = 90M

75M + 125W = 90M

125W = 15M

\(\frac{M}{W}\) = \(\frac{125}{15}\)

\(\frac{M}{W}\) = \(\frac{25}{3}\)

So, Efficiency of Men = 25 and efficiency of Women = 3

Time taken by 1 women to complete the work = \(\frac{Total\; work }{Efficiency}\)

= \(\frac{90 ×25  }{3}\)

= 750
