Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total time taken by 8 men to complete the work = 45 days
Total time taken by 8 women to complete the work = 18 days
Formula used:
Total work = Total efficiency × Total time
Calculation:
Let, M = Man and W = Woman
So, 8M × 45 = 8W × 18
⇒ M/W = 2/5
∴ A man can do = 2 work/day
∴ A woman can do = 5 work/day
Total work = (8 × 2) × 45 = 720
The total work done by 5 men and 8 women for one day = (5 × 2) + (8 × 5)
= 50
So, the total time is taken by them ⇒ 720/50 ⇒ 14(2/5)
∴ The work will be completed in 14(2/5) days.
