Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
15 men can complete a work = 25 days
25 women can complete the same work = 40 days
Formula used:
Total work = efficiency × time
Calculation:
Let the efficiency of a man = M
The efficiency of a woman = W
According to the question:
⇒ 15 × M × 25 = 25 × W × 40
⇒ M/W = 40/15 = 8/3
Total work = efficiency × time
⇒ 25 × 3 × 40 = 3000
Time taken to complete the work if 15 men and 25 women work together
⇒ 3000/{(15 × 8) + (25 × 3)} = 3000/(120 + 75)
⇒ 3000/195 =
∴ The correct answer is
