SSC CGL - 21 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q63

If 35 men can finish a work in 6 days, then in how many days can 7 men do half of the same work?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15

Total work = Efficiency × total time taken by them

Let the efficiency of each worker = x

So, total efficiency = 35x

Now, total work = 35x × 6 = 210x

Half of work = 210x/2 = 105x

Now, Required time = 105x/7 = 15 days
