A job can be done by 18 women in 10 days. After working for 4 days, 6 women leave.
How many more days will the remaining women take to finish the job?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
18 women → Work to be completed in 10 days
Work completed over 4 days
6 women left ⇒ Remaining = 12
Total work = 18 × 10 = 180
Work done in 4 days = 18 × 4 = 72
Remaining work = 180 − 72 = 108
12 women will complete the remaining work
Time required = 108 / 12 = 9 days
