    Question



    20 men can do a work in 24 days and 24 women can do the same work in 48 days. 20 men started the work and after 12 days all 20 men left the work. Find how many women are required to complete the remaining work in 8 days?

    A.

    36

    B.

    48

    C.

    64

    D.

    72

    E.

    60

    Correct option is D


    Let one day efficiency of a man be x unit/day and a woman is y unit/day
    ATQ, 20x ×24 = 24y ×48
    20x = 48x
    x : y = 12 : 5
    Now let, x = 12u and y = 5u
    Total work = 20× 12u ×24 = 5760u unit
    Total work done by 20 men in 12 days =20× 12u ×12 = 2880u unit
    Remaining work = 5760u – 2880u = 2880u unit
    Required women = 2880u/(5u×8) = 72
