If 10 men and 15 women can do a piece of work in 8 days and 9 men and 12 women can do it in 9 days. How many days will 5 men and 15 women take to do it?
14.4 days
In one day 1 man can do m & 1 woman can do w equivalent of the job, then we have: 10m+15w =1/8 ------ (1) 9m+12w=1/9 ------ (2)
5m+15w=1/x
Comparing (1) & (2) we get 1m=12w and w=1/1080 x=1/(5m+15w)=1/75w=1080/75=14.4 x= 14.4 days
