Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
Required time for 6 girls to complete the work
8 x 12 = 6 x ?
? = 16 days.

4 boys complete the work in 16 days
So, 4 boys one day work is 1 / 16.

6 girls complete the work in 16 days
So, 6 girls one day work is 1 / 16.

So, time required by 4 boys an 6 girls to complete that work is

Now, Rahul complete the remaining work in (1 / 16) X 2
= 1 / 8
= 8 days.

    If 10 men or 20 women or 40 children can do a work in 7 months, then what is the required time to do the half of the work by 5 men,5 women and 5 children

    • Ajeet says:

      Ratio is 4:2:1
      And here total work is 210 ×7=1470
      But here asking half work so, 735
      Therefore,
      5m+5w+5c=35
      So total time =21 days answer
