Two men can complete a piece of work in 6
days. Two women can complete the same piece of work in 9 days, whereas three
children can complete the same piece of work in 8 days. Three women and four
children worked together for 1 day. If only men were to finish the remaining
work in 1 day how many total men would be required.
Correct answer:
ReplyDelete2×6 men≡18 women≡24 children
2men≡3women≡4 children
3 women + 4 children ≡ 4 men
part of work done in 1 day by 4 men = 1 / 3
∴∴ Remaining 2 / 3 work will be finished by 8 men in 1 day.
Hence, 8 men would be required.
