Question

5 men can do a piece of work in 6 days while 10 women can do it in 5 days. In how many days can 5 women and 3 men do it?

Options

• 4 days

• 5 days

• 6 days

• 8 days

Answer 1

5 days

Explanation:

5M × 6 = 10 W × 5

⇒ 3 M : 5W

⇒ M : W = 5 : 3

Now

(5W + 3M) × x = 5M × 6

⇒ 30 x = 25 × 6

⇒ x = 5 days
