Question

    If 3 men can finish a task in 4 days, and 4 women can

    complete the same task in 9 days, how many days will it take for a team of 2 men and 6 women working together to complete the task?
    A 2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Time taken by 2 men to complete the work = (3 × 4)/2 = 6 days Time taken by 6 women to complete the work = (4 × 9)/6 = 6 days Therefore, required time = (6 × 6)/(6 + 6) = 36/12 = 3 days
