Download Solution PDFGiven:
2 men can finish the work = 6 days
3 woman can finish the work = 4 days
Formula used:
Total work = efficiency × time
Calculation:
Let the efficiency of a man = M
and the efficiency of woman = W
According to the question:
⇒ 2M × 6 = 3W × 4
⇒ M/W = 1/1
Total work = 3W × 4 = 3 × 1 × 4 = 12 units
Time taken to complete the work by 1 man and 2 woman = 12/(1 + 2)
⇒ 12/3 = 4 days
∴ The correct answer is 4 days.
