    If men or 20 women can do a piece of work in 25 days, in what time will 28 men and 15 women do

    A)  \[14\frac{2}{7}\text{days}\]

    B)  \[33\frac{1}{3}\text{days}\]

    C)  \[18\frac{3}{4}\text{days}\]

    D)  10 days

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    16 men = 20 women
    4 men = 5 women
    Now, according to question, 16 men complete the work in 25 days.
    \[\therefore \]1 man one day's work\[=\frac{1}{25\times 16}\]
    \[\therefore \]4 men one day's work \[=\frac{4}{25\times 10}=\frac{1}{100}\]
    Similarly,
    1 woman one day's work \[=\frac{1}{25\times 20}\]
    \[\therefore \]5 women one day's work \[=\frac{5}{25\times 20}=\frac{1}{100}\]
    \[\therefore \] 28 men \[=\frac{28}{4}\times 5=35\]women
    \[\therefore \] 50 women one day's work \[=\frac{50}{25\times 20}=\frac{1}{10}\]
    Therefore, 28 men and 15 women can complete the whole work in 10 days.
