    The work done by a woman in 8 h is equal to the work done by a man in 6 h and by a boy in 12 h. If working 6 h per day 9 men can complete a work in 6 days, then in how many days can 12 men, 12 women and 12 boys together finish the same work, working 8 h per day?

    A)  \[2\frac{1}{2}\] days    

    B)         \[1\frac{1}{2}\] days    

    C)         \[3\frac{1}{2}\] days    

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given, 8 Women = 6 Men = 12 Boys \[\therefore \]12 Men + 12 Women + 12 Boys = 12 Men + 9 Men + 6 Men = 27 Men We have,           \[{{M}_{1}}=9,\,\,{{D}_{1}}=6,\,\,{{t}_{1}}=6,\,\,{{w}_{1}}=1\] \[{{M}_{2}}=27,\,\,{{D}_{2}}=?,\,\,{{t}_{2}}=8,\,\,{{w}_{2}}=1\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{M}_{1}}{{D}_{1}}{{t}_{1}}{{w}_{2}}={{M}_{2}}{{D}_{2}}{{t}_{2}}{{w}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[9\times 6\times 6\times 1=27\times {{D}_{2}}\times 8\times 1\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{D}_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}\] days or \[1\frac{1}{2}\] days
