Answer» Solution 6 women complete a piece of work in 3 days. Hence, ONE woman can complete $\frac{1}{18}$ piece of work in one DAY. 3 women and 18 children take 2 days to complete the work. 3 women in 2 days complete $3*2*\frac{1}{18}=\frac{1}{3}$ Hence, in two days 18 children complete $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$ of the work. So, amount of work done by 1 CHILD in a day is $\frac{2}{3}*\frac{1}{36}=\frac{1}{54}$ So, 9 children complete $9*\frac{1}{54}=\frac{1}{6}$ part of the work in a day. Hence, the number of days in which 9 children alone complete the work is $6$ |
