      Question

      14 women working 8 hours a day

      can complete a piece of work in 30 days. What is the time taken by 28 men working 5 hours a day to complete the work if the efficiency of a woman is 30% less than that of a man?
      A 25.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12.8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 16.8 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 22.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the efficiency of a man be '5a' units/day. So, the efficiency of a woman = 0.70 Γ— 5 = '3.5a' units/day. Total work = 14 Γ— 3.5a Γ— 8 Γ— 30 = '11760a' units. So, time taken by 28 men working 5 hours a day to complete the work: = 11760a Γ· (28 Γ— 5a Γ— 5) = 16.8 days.
