    Question

    3 men and 4 women can do a work in 7 days, whereas 2 men and 1 woman can do it in 14 days. 7 women will complete the same work in:

    A.

    8 days

    B.

    10 days

    C.

    12 days

    D.

    9 days

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    3 men and 4 women can finish a work in 7 days.

    2 men and 1 women can finish same work in 14 days

    Formula Used:

    Work done = Number of workers×Efficiency of each worker×TimeNumber \ of \ workers \times Efficiency \ of\ each \ worker\times Time​​

    Solution:

    Let the efficiency of a man and a boy be M and W respectively.

    According to the question,

    (3×M+4×W)×7=(2×M+1×W)×14(3 \times M + 4 \times W) \times 7 = (2 \times M + 1 \times W) \times 14​​

    M = 2W

    Total work is:

    (3×2W+4×W)×7(3\times 2W + 4 \times W) \times 7​​

    10W×710W \times 7​​

    = 70W

    Time taken by 7 women will be = 70W7=10days \frac{70W}{7} = 10days​​
