20 men can do a job in 10 days, working 8 hours a day, If women are 33.33% more efficient than men, how many woman will it take to finish the same job in 10 days. Working 6 hours a day ?
Op 1: 10
Op 2: 12
Op 3: 15
Op 4: 20
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- Option 4) 20
Total men hours of work = 20 x 10 x 8 = 1600
So 1 man, 1 hr work = 1/1600
As woman is 33.33% more efficient, so 1 woman, 1 hr work=(133.33/100) x (1/1600)=1.3333/1600
So 10 days work of 1 woman working 6 hrs =10 x 6 x (1.3333/1600) = 1/20
Hence 20 women are required.
Alternate Method:
(M x D1 x H1) = (W x D2 x H2)
Here W=1.3333M = (4/3)M
=> (20 x 10 x 8) = (W x 10 x 6) x (4/3)
=> W = 20 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(0)
- (M x D1 x H1) = (W x D2 x H2)
Here W=1.3333M = (4/3)M
=> (20 x 10 x 8) = (W x 10 x 6) x (4/3)
=> W = 20 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(0)
- (M x D1 x H1) = (W x D2 x H2)
Here W=1.3333M = (4/3)M
=> (20 x 10 x 8) = (W x 10 x 6) x (4/3)
=> W = 20 - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- (M x D1 x H1) = (W x D2 x H2)
Here W=1.3333M = (4/3)M
=> (20 x 10 x 8) = (W x 10 x 6) x (4/3)
=> W = 20 - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
