Question

    A group of 16 women can complete a certain job in 48

    days, working 7 hours each day. How many women would be required to complete the same job in 32 days, if they work 12 hours per day?
    A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the efficiency of a woman = 'x' units/hour
    Then, total work = 16 X x X 7 X 48 = '5376x' units
    So, number of women required to complete the same job in 32 days working 12 hours a day
    = 5376x ÷ (32 X 12) = 14
