    Work done by a woman in 8 hours, a man in 6 hours and by a boy in 12 hours are equal to one-another. 9 men working 6 hours a day complete a work in 6 days. Working 8 hours a day in how many days 12 men, 12 women and 12 boys will complete the same work?

    A) \[1\frac{1}{3}\]                         

    B) \[3\frac{2}{3}\]

    C) 3                                 

    D) \[1\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Work done by 1 woman is 8 hours = work done by 1 man in 6 hours = work done by 1 boy in 12 hours \[\Rightarrow \]8 women = 6 men = 12 boys \[\Rightarrow \]4 women = 3 men = 6 boys Now, 12 men +12 women +12 boys =         \[\left( 12+\frac{3}{4}\times 12+\frac{3}{6}\times 12 \right)\] men = 27 men Now, \[{{M}_{1}}{{d}_{1}}{{T}_{1}}={{M}_{2}}{{d}_{2}}{{T}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow 9\times 6\times 6=27\times 8\times {{d}_{2}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{d}_{2}}\frac{9\times 6\times 6}{27\times 2}=\frac{3}{2}days=\mathbf{1}\frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2}}\]
