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 |
