Question
2 women and 10 children together take 8days to complete a piece of work. How many days will 10 children alone take to complete the piece of work if 8 women alone can complete the piece of work in 6 days?
Options:
A .  10
B .  12
C .  10
D .  24
E .  None of these
Answer: Option B


8 women complete the work in 6 days.
Work done by 2 women in 8 days = ?
M1D1/W1 = M2D2/W2
=> (8 * 6)/1 = (2 * 8)/ W2
=> W2 = 2/6 = 1/3
∴ Remaining work
= 1- 1/3 = 2/3
∴ Work done by 10 children in 8 days = 2/3
∴ Time taken in completing the work = (8*3)/2
= 12 days
