If 3 men or 5 women can do a piece of work in 12 days, in how many days will 6 men and 5 women complete the same work?
A. 6 days
B. 5 days
C. 4 days
D. 3 days
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
3 Men = 5 Women => 6 Men = 10 Women. 6 men + 5 women = 10 women + 5 women = 15 women. Since 5 women take 12 days, 15 women will take (5 * 12) / 15 = 60 / 15 = 4 days.
Explanation:
Let efficiency of B = 5, then efficiency of A = 4. Total work = Efficiency of A * Time of A = 4 * 15 = 60 units. Time taken by B = 60 / 5 = 12 days.
