If 10 men or 20 women can do a piece of work in 13 days, in how many days will 24 men and 17 women complete the same work? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If 10 men or 20 women can do a piece of work in 13 days, in how many days will 24 men and 17 women complete the same work?
A. 7 days
B. 4 days
C. 6 days
D. 5 days
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
10 Men = 20 Women => 1 Man = 2 Women. 24 men + 17 women = 24 * 2 + 17 = 48 + 17 = 65 women. Since 20 women do the work in 13 days, 65 women will do it in (20 * 13) / 65 = 260 / 65 = 4 days.
