In how many days can 10 women finish a work?
I.10 men can complete the work in 6 days.
II.10 men and 10 women together can complete the work in 3\(\frac { 3 } { 7 } \)days.
III.If 10 men work for 3 days and thereafter 10 women replace them, the remaining work in completed in 4 days.
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
I. (10 x 6) men can complete the work in 1 day.
1 man's 1 day's work = \(\frac { 1 } { 60}\)
II. \( [10*\frac { 24 } { 7 } ]\)men+\( [10*\frac { 24 } { 7 } ]\) women can complete the work in 1 day.
\([\frac {240 } { 7} ]\) men's 1 day work +\([\frac {240 } { 7} ]\) women's 1 day work = 1
[\(\frac {240 } { 7}\) x \(\frac {1 } { 60} \)] +\([\frac {240 } { 7} ]\) women's 1 day's work = 1
\([\frac {240 } { 7} ]\)women's 1 day's work =[1-\( \frac { 4 } { 7 } \)] =\(\frac { 3 } { 7 } \)
10 women's 1 day's work =[ \(\frac { 3 } { 7 } \)x\( \frac {7 } { 240 }\)x 10] =\(\frac { 1} { 8 } \) |
So, 10 women can finish the work in 8 days.
III. (10 men's work for 3 days) + (10 women's work for 4 days) = 1
(10 x 3) men's 1 day's work + (10 x 4) women's 1 day's work = 1
30 men's 1 day's work + 40 women's 1 day's work = 1
Thus, I and III will give us the answer.
And, II and III will give us the answer.
Correct answer is (A)
