Question #2
If 3 men or 5 women can do a piece of work in 12 days, in how many days will 6 men and 5 women complete the same work?
A. 3 days
B. 5 days
C. 4 days
D. 6 days

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
3 Men = 5 Women => 6 Men = 10 Women. 6 men + 5 women = 10 women + 5 women = 15 women. Since 5 women take 12 days, 15 women will take (5 * 12) / 15 = 60 / 15 = 4 days.

Question #3
12 men can complete a work in 4 days, while 15 women can complete the same work in 4 days. 6 men start working and after 2 days, all of them stop working. How many women should be put on the job to complete the remaining work in 3 days?
A. 15
B. 20
C. 18
D. 25

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Total work = 12M * 4 = 48 man-days = 15W * 4 = 60 woman-days. So, 48M = 60W => 4M = 5W => 1M = 1.25W. Work done by 6 men in 2 days = 12 man-days. Remaining work = 48 - 12 = 36 man-days. Converting to woman-days: 36 * 1.25 = 45 woman-days. To complete 45 woman-days in 3 days, number of women required = 45 / 3 = 15 women.
