    Question

    5 men and 10 women can do some work in 3 days. If each

    man is 150% more efficient than a woman, then find the time taken by 9 men to finish the same work together.
    A 6 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the efficiency of each woman be '2x' units/day. So, efficiency of each man = 2x × 2.5 = '5x' units/day So, total work = 3 × {(5x × 5) + (10 × 2x)} = '135x' units So, required time = 135x ÷ (9 × 5x) = 3 days
