Answer: Option A Explanation: From I (10 x 6) men can complete the work in 1 day. ⇒1 man's 1 day's work = 1/60 From II (10 x 24/7) men + (10 x 24/7) women can complete the work in 1 day. ⇒ (240/7) men's 1 day work + (240/7) women's 1 day work = 1. ⇒ (240/7 x 1/60) + ( 240/7) women's 1 day's work = 1. ⇒ (240/7) women's 1 day's work = ( 1- 4/7) = 3/7 ⇒ 10 women's 1 day's work = (3/7 x 7/240 x 10) = 1/8 So, 10 women can finish the work in 8 days. From III 10 men's work for 3 days) + (10 women's work for 4 days) = 1 ⇒ (10 x 3) men's 1 day's work + (10 x 4) women's 1 day's work = 1 ⇒ 30 men's 1 day's work + 40 women's 1 day's work = 1 Thus, I and III will give us the answer. And, II and III will give us the answer. ∴ Correct answer is (A). |
