Ques 2.

A work can be completed in 12 days when 2 men, 3 women and 6 children work together. Also when 4 women and 8 children work together, the same work gets completed in 18 days. In how many days 2 men can complete the same work?


Solution :

2men + 3 women +6children = 12 days
4women + 8 children  = 18 days

L.C.M of 12, 18 = 36

Efficiency of 2men + 3 women +6 children = 36/12 = 3 --(i)

Efficiency of 4women + 8 children  = 36/18 = 2

3women + 6 children = 3/2 --(ii)

from (i) and (ii) 

2men = 3 - 3/2 = 3/2

2men completed in = 36/(3/2) = 24 days
