Question

if 6 men. 8 women and 16 boys together can do a piece of work in 288 days by working 6 hours each day in how many days can 12 men, 18 women and 28 boys complete the same & work by working 8 hours each day? The work efficiency of men, women and boys proportion 3:2:1 respectively? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

144 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's put the efficiency in terms of   b

m = 3b      w = 2b       b=b

starting with    6 m  = 18 b

                        8w =   16 b

                        16b = 16 b           total 50 b

then increase   12m = 36b

                         18w = 36b

                         28b = 28 b    total = 100 b

You doubled 'b'  workers  so work time will be halved     to  144 days
