SSC CGL - 20 July 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

If one man or two women or three boys can finish a work in 121 days, then how many days will one man, one woman and one boy together take to finish the same work?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 66.

We know that,

(M1 × T1)/W1 = (M2 × T2)/W2

According to the question,

⇒ M = 2W

⇒ W = M/2

⇒ M = 3B

⇒ B = M/3

⇒ M + W + B = M + (M/2) + (M/3) = 11M/6

⇒ (1 × 121)/1 = ((11M/6) × T2)/1

⇒ T2 = 66 days

The time taken by one man, one woman, and one boy together to finish the work is 66 days.
