20 women work for 4 days on a certain project and complete one-tenth of it. 15 men work for the next 'X' days and complete one-fifth of it, If after (4+X) days, 20 women and 15 men work together and complete the remaining work in 12 days, then how many days will 15 men take to complete the whole work ?
20 Women's 1 day work=1/(4*10)=1/40
15 men's 1 days work=1/(X*5)=1/(5X)
After total (4+X) days, work comleted=1/10 + 1/5=3/10 and remaining work=7/10
As 20 women and 15 men complete the remaining work in 12 days, so their 1 day work=(1/12)*(7/10)=7/120
Comparing 1 day's work of 20 women and 15 men=1/40 + 1/(5X)=7/120
(X+8)/(40X)=7/120
Solving, we get X=6
.'. 1 day's work of 15 men=1/(5*6)=1/30
Hence, 15 men can complete the whole work in 30 days.
Correct Option 2)
mathematics never dies because it always stays in the minds and souls of people who love mathematics.
Those people will not let maths die instead they will die.................
