    Question

    Sixteen women working 7 hours a day will complete a job in 48 days. How many women are needed to complete the same job in 32 days working 12 hours a day?

    A.

    14

    B.

    12

    C.

    17

    D.

    10

    Correct option is A

    Given: 
    For first condition;
    Total women W1=16W_1 = 16 
    Time, T1=7hT_1 = 7 h 
    Days, D1=48daysD_1 = 48 days 
    For Second condition; 
    Time T2=12hT_2 = 12 h 
    Days D2=32daysD_2 = 32 days 
    Formula Used: 
    Total work=Total Woman×Total Days× Total hours\text{Total work} = \text{Total Woman}\times \text{Total Days} \times \text{ Total hours} 
    W1×T1×D1=W2×T2×D2{ W_1 \times T_1 \times D_1} = W_2 \times T_2 \times D_2 
    Solution:  
    For second condition;
    Let the number of women W2=xW_2 = x 
    Now putting the given values in the formula ;
    W1×T1×D1=W2×T2×D2{ W_1 \times T_1 \times D_1} = W_2 \times T_2 \times D_2 
    16×7×48=x×12×32x=16×7×4812×32x=14\begin{aligned} &16\times 7 \times 48 = x \times 12 \times 32 \\ & x = \frac{ 16 \times 7 \times 48}{12 \times 32} \\ & x = 14\end{aligned} 
    \therefore 14 women are required to do the same work in working 12 hours and in 32 days.​
