12 men can finish a piece of work in 20 days. 8 men started working and after 10 days they were replaced by 18 women. These 18 women finished the remaining work in 16 days. In how many days can 18 women finish the whole work ?

Validate

Solution:

Part of work done by 8 men In 10 days = W
∴

M_1D_1

{M_2D_2}/W

⇒ 12 × 20 =

{8×10}/W

⇒ W =

{8×10}/{12×20}

1/3

Remaining work = 1 -

1/3

2/3

∴ Time taken by 18 women in doing 2/3 work = 16 days
∴ Time taken by them in doing whole work =

{16×3}/2

= 24 days
