Time and Work

Question:

Some persons can do a piece of work in 84 days. Two times the number of such persons will do half of the same work in how many days?

Options:

21 days

14 days

16 days

15 days

Correct Answer:

21 days

Explanation:

Formula to be used here, 

⇒ \(\frac{M_1\;×\;D_1}{M_2\;×\;D_2}\) = \(\frac{W_1}{W_2}\),

where, M = No. of Men, D = No. of Days, W = Work,

⇒ Putting in the values,

⇒ \(\frac{A\;×\;84}{2A\;×\;D_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{1/2}\)

D2= 21 days,
