4 men and 6 woman can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 woman can comp,ete in 10 days .In how many days will 10 woman complete it?
Explanation
4 Men and 6 Women take 8 days. So TOTAL WORK = 32 MD + 48 WD
(where MD= Mandays, & WD = Womandays, a unit of work) ……(eqn1)
3 Men and 7 Women take 10 days. So, TOTAL WORK = 30 MD + 70 WD …. (eqn2)
Equating the total work,
32 MD + 48 WD = 30 MD + 70 WD
=> 2 MD = 22 WD
=> 1 MD = 11 WD
So, replacing man days in eqn2,
TOTAL WORK = 400 WD
Now, 10 women will complete 10 WD of work in one day.
To complete 400 WD of work,
Time needed = (400 WD)/(10 WD) = 40 Days
