Practicing Success
6 men can do a piece of work in 36 days by working 10 hrs a day. But 24 women can do it in 54 days by working 12 hrs a day. Then the ratio of the work done by 1 man and 1 woman is: |
24 : 10 18 : 5 36 : 10 36 : 5 |
36 : 5 |
Total Work = No. of person × days Therefore, Total work ⇒ 6M × 36 x 10 = 24W × 54 x 12 ⇒ M : W = \(\frac{24\; \times\; 54\; \times\; 12}{6\; \times\; 36\; \times\; 10}\) ⇒ M : W = 36 : 5 |
