4 men or 6 women can do a piece of work in 12 days. In how many days will 2 men and 6 women together do it?
- 8 days
- 6 days
- 9 days
- 10 days
Answer and explanation
Answer: A. 8 days
Explanation: 4 men = 6 women, so 1 man = 1.5 women and 2 men + 6 women = 9 women. Work = 6 × 12 = 72 woman-days, so 72 ÷ 9 = 8 days.
