Answer» Solution Let the amount of work done by a woman in a day be W and let the amount of work done by a man in a day be M. Statement 1 implies that: $5M = \frac{1}{8}$ Statement 2 implies that: $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$ Statement 3 implies that $M+W = 3W => M=2W$ Clearly using just one statement, we can't find the value of W. But using any PAIR of statements, we can find the value of W as shown below. Using Statement 1 and 2: $M=\frac{1}{40}$ and $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$ Using Statement 1 and 3: $M=\frac{1}{40}$ and $M=2W$ Using Statement 2 and 3: $M=2W$ and $6M+4W = \frac{1}{5}$ |
