10 men or 18 children can finish a work in 15 days in how many days 25 men and 15 children can finish the double work
Read Solution (Total 5)
-
- work done by 1 men in 1 day = 1/150
work done by 1 child in 1 day = 1/270
work done by 25 men in 1 day = 1/6
work done by 15 children in 1 day = 1/18
work done by 25 men and 15 children in 1 day = 1/6 + 1/18 = 2/9
so it will take them 4.5 days to complete the work.
Since work is twice it will take them 9 days - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 10 men = 18 children (as their time for same work is same)
5 M=9 C (M= men , C=children)
ATQ
25 M +15C =?
using above equation
25M = 45 C
SO 45C+ 15C= 60C
60C*X=18*(15*2) (WORK = DAYS *WORKERS) (15*2= MENTIONS DOUBLE WORK)
X=9 DAYS ans - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans: 9 days
Since the work is doubled
10 men --->30 days
18 children ---->30days
Let 25 men take x days
10 men---30days
25 men---x days
x = 10*30/25
= 12days
Let 15 children take y days
18 children---30days
15 children---y days
y = 18*30/15
= 36days
Since the work is done by both men and children
number of days required = 12*36/(12+36)
= 12*36/48
= 9 days - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- here 10 men is equal to 18 children.
so 25 men is equal to 45 children.
so total children is 45 children + 15 children= 60 children.
18 children can finish in 15 days.
so 60 children can finish in 4.5 days..
thats it.... - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(2)
- AS PER GIVEN DATA
10M=18C
DIVIDE IT BY 2
5M=9C
NOW MULTIPLY IT WITH 5
25M=45C
NOW WE CAN WRITE
25M&15C AS 45C+15C=60C
18C--->15D
60C-->X
X=18*15/60
X=4.5DAYS - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
