Three men can complete a work in 6 days and 5 women can complete the same work in 18 days. In how many days can 4 men and 10 women together complete the same work ?

Solution

Correct Option: 1

One man does 13×6=118\frac{1}{3 \times 6} = \frac{1}{18} work per day. One woman does 15×18=190\frac{1}{5 \times 18} = \frac{1}{90} work per day. 4 men plus 10 women per day: 418+1090=2090+1090=3090=13\frac{4}{18} + \frac{10}{90} = \frac{20}{90} + \frac{10}{90} = \frac{30}{90} = \frac{1}{3}. So time needed =3= 3 days.
