Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Time taken by 1 man to finish the work \[=(36\times 12)\]days = 432 days \[\frac{3}{4}\]th of work is completed by 12 women in 36 days. Whole work is completed by 12 women in \[\left( 36\times \frac{4}{3} \right)\]48 days Time taken by 1 woman to finish the work \[=(48\times 12)\]days = 576 days (10men+ 8 women)'s 1 day's work \[=\left( \frac{10}{432}+\frac{8}{576} \right)=\left( \frac{5}{216}+\frac{1}{72} \right)=\frac{8}{216}=\frac{1}{27}\] Required time taken =27 daysYou need to login to perform this action.
