Eight men can complete a work in 54 days. In how many days will 6 men and 12 boys complete the same work if one man works as much as 2 boys?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 36.
Work = 8 × 54 = 432 units
1 man = 2 boys
1 boy = 0.5 man
6 men + 12 boys =6 + 12 × 0.5 = 6 + 6 = 12 units
Time = 432/12 = 36 days
