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)
