SSC CGL - 21 Sep 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q64

A group of 5 men or 12 women can complete a task in 70 days. Find the time taken by 5 men and 12 women to complete the task.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 35 Days.

1 man’s 1 day work = 1/(5 × 70) = 1/350

1 woman’s 1 day work = 1/(12 × 70) = 1/840

5 men and 12 women’s 1 day work = 5/350 + 12/840 = 1/35

Time required to complete the work = 35 days
