    If 10 men or 18 boys can do a piece of work in 15 days, then 15 men and 13 boys together will do twice the work in

    A)  \[9\frac{1}{2}\] days                

    B)  \[13\frac{1}{2}\] days

    C)  \[14\frac{3}{4}\] days              

    D)  12 days

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[\because \]10 men \[\equiv \]18 boys \[\therefore \]5 men \[\equiv \] 9 boys \[\therefore \]15 men \[\equiv \] 27 boys \[\therefore \]15 men + 13 boys = (27 +13) boys = 40 boys \[\therefore \,\frac{{{M}_{1}}D{{ & }_{1}}}{{{W}_{1}}}=\frac{{{M}_{2}}{{D}_{2}}}{{{W}_{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{18\times 15}{1}=\frac{40\times {{D}_{2}}}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[40\times {{D}_{2}}=2\times 18\times 15\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{D}_{2}}=\frac{2\times 18\times 15}{40}\] \[=13\frac{1}{2}\]days
