If 3 typists can type 216 pages in 4 days, working 8 hours per day, how many pages can 6 typists type in 2 days, working 6 hours per day at the same rate?
Solution:
First calculate the typing rate from the given data.
Work done: 216 pages Typists: 3 Days: 4 Hours/day: 8
Total man-hours = 3 × 4 × 8 = 96 man-hours
Rate of work = 216 pages ÷ 96 = 2.25 pages per man-hour
Now compute work for the new scenario:
Typists: 6 Days: 2 Hours/day: 6
Total man-hours = 6 × 2 × 6 = 72 man-hours
Work done = 72 × 2.25 = 162 pages
