    Question

    If 6 girls and 8 boys can complete a project work in 10 days, whereas 26 girls and 48 boys can do the same work in 2 days, then find the time taken by 10 girls and 30 boys to do the same type of work.

    A.

    9 days

    B.

    10 days

    C.

    3 days

    D.

    4 days

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    6 girls and 8 boys complete the work in 10 days.
    26 girls and 48 boys complete the same work in 2 days.
    We need to find the time taken by 10 girls and 30 boys to complete the same work.
    Formula Used:
    Work = Time × Total efficiency
    Efficiency of a group is the sum of individual efficiencies of its members.
    Solution:
    Let the efficiency of 1 girl = g and 1 boy = b.
    Total work = 10 × (6g + 8b) = 2 × (26g + 48b) 
    60g + 80b = 52g + 96b
    => 60g - 52g = 96b - 80b
    => 8g = 16b
    => g = 2b
    Now, substitute g = 2b in the total work equation:
    Total work = 60g + 80b = 60(2b) + 80b= 120b + 80b = 200b
    For 10 girls and 30 boys:
    Efficiency = 10g + 30b = 10(2b) + 30bn= 20b + 30b = 50b
    Time taken = Total work / Efficiency
    => Time = 200b50b\frac{200b}{50b}​ = 4 days
