A) \[1\frac{1}{2}\]days'
B) 3 days
C) \[3\frac{2}{3}\]days
D) \[1\frac{1}{3}\]days
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Work done/hour by a woman, a man and a boy x, y and z, respectively. So, \[8x=6y=12z\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{3}{4}y\]and \[z=\frac{y}{2}\] 9 men can complete a work in 6 days working 6 h/day. \[\therefore \]Work done\[=9\times 6\times 6y=324y\] Work done by 12 men, 12 women and 12 boys to 1 day's working = 8 h/day \[=(12y+12x+12z)\times 8\] \[=\left[ 12y+12\times \frac{3}{4}y+12\times \frac{y}{2} \right]\times 8=216y\] Days required to finish work \[=\frac{324y}{216y}=1\frac{1}{2}\]daysYou need to login to perform this action.
