Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFMan's 1-day work = 1/3
Woman's 1-day work = 1/5
Boy's 1-day work = 1/15
According to the question-
⇒ 1 × (1/3) + 1 × (1/5) + x × (1/15) = 1/(1/5)
{ ∵ x be the no. of boys needed}
⇒ x/15 = 5 - (1/3) - (1/5)
⇒ x/15 = (75 - 5 - 3)/15
⇒ x = 67
∴ 67 Boys are needed to complete the work.
