Answer» Time TAKEN by 5 men to do a piece of work = 12 days ∴ Work done by 5 men in 1 DAY = 1/12 Time taken by 10 women to do the same work = 15 days ∴ Work done by 10 women in 1 day = 1/15 With the help of 15 children they finished the work = 5 days ∴ Work done by (5 men + 10 women + 15 children) in 1 day = 1/5 So, work by 15 children in 1 day = 1/5 - 1/12 - 1/15 = 1/20 Time taken by 15 children to do the same work = 20 days The RATIO of their time = 12 : 15 : 20 We know, the EFFICIENCY is inversely proportional to the time So, ratio of their efficiency = 1/12 : 1/15 : 1/20 = 5 : 4 : 3 So, 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 unit = 36,000 ⇒ 1 unit = 3,000 ⇒ 3 unit = 9,000 ∴ Share of 15 children is 9,000 So, share of 1 child = 9,000/15 = 600 So, share of 5 children = 600 × 5 = 3,000 |
