Answer»

Solution

Let the TIME taken to complete the work = $x$ days

=> $(4 M + 3 W) \times 6 = (5 M + 7 W) \times 4$

=> $24 M + 18 W = 20 M + 28 W$

=> $4 M = 10 W$ ---------------Eqn(1)

Acc to ques,

=> $(4 M + 3 W) \times 6 = (1 M + 1 W) \times x$

Using eqn(1), we get :

=> $(10 + 3) \times 6 = (\frac{10}{4} + 1) \times x$

=> $78 = \frac{7}{2} x$

=> $x = \frac{78 \times 2}{7} = \frac{156}{7}$

=> $x = 22\frac{2}{7}$ days
