    C 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total work = 18 Γ— 20 = 360 units Work completed by 9 women in 10 days = 9 Γ— 10 = 90 units Remaining work = 360 – 90 = 270 units Let the number of women added be β€˜y’. Therefore, (9 + y) Γ— 15 = 270 135 + 15y = 270 15y = 135 y = 9 Number of women added = 9
