    Question

    If 2 men or 3 women can finish a piece of work in 15 days. In how many days can 6 men and 9 women together do the same piece of work?

    A.

    6136\tfrac{1}{3}​​

    B.

    3133\tfrac{1}{3}​​

    C.

    4124\tfrac{1}{2}​​

    D.

    2122\tfrac{1}{2}​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    2 men or 3 women can finish a piece of work in 15 days  

    Solution:

    Fast we find efficiency 

    2M×\times15D = 3W×\times15D

    2M = 3W

    MW\frac{M}{W} = 32\frac32​​

    Now we find total work

    2×\times3 ×\times15 = 90

    6M+9W efficiency =(6×3)+(9×2)(6\times3)+(9\times2)​,  (18)+(18)= 36

    9036\frac{90}{36} = 104\frac{10}{4} = 52\frac{5}{2} =2122\frac{1}{2} 

    Option (d)
