Question

    If a group of 20 boys and 10 girls can finish a task in

    50 days, and a team of 8 girls alone can complete the same task in 120 days, how long will it take for 80 boys to finish the entire task on their own?
    A 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Task done by 8 girls in 1 day = 1/120

    Task done by 10 girls in 1 day = 10/120 = 1/12

    Task done by 20 boys = 1/50 – 1/12 = 1/60

    Task done by 80 boys = 4/60 = 1/15

    Hence, required time = 15 days
