2 men can complete a piece of work in 18 days while 6 women can do it in 6 days. In how many days can 3 women and 6 men complete it?
4 days
To solve this problem, we need to determine the combined work rate of 3 women and 6 men and calculate how long it would take them to complete the work. Let's analyze the given information:
Step 1: Calculate the work rate of men. 2 men can complete the work in 18 days. Therefore, 1 man's work rate is \( \frac{1}{2 \times 18} = \frac{1}{36} \) of the work per day.
Step 2: Calculate the work rate of women. 6 women can complete the work in 6 days. Therefore, 1 woman's work rate is \( \frac{1}{6 \times 6} = \frac{1}{36} \) of the work per day.
Step 3: Calculate the combined work rate for 3 women and 6 men. The work rate for 3 women is \( 3 \times \frac{1}{36} = \frac{3}{36} = \frac{1}{12} \) of the work per day. The work rate for 6 men is \( 6 \times \frac{1}{36} = \frac{6}{36} = \frac{1}{6} \) of the work per day.
Adding these, the combined work rate for 3 women and 6 men is:
\(\frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 1 + 2 \times 1}{12} = \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}\)
Step 4: Calculate the time taken for the combined group to complete the work. Since the combined work rate is \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the work per day, it will take:
\( \frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}} = 4 \) days
Therefore, 3 women and 6 men can complete the work in 4 days.
Surbhi can do a piece of work in 24 days. She completed 3/8 of the work and then left it. Amit can complete the remaining work in 10 days. Working together, they will complete 125% of the same work in:
Rama and Hari can together finish a piece of work in 15 day. Rama works twice as fast as Hari, then Hari alone can finish work in :
Anil, Deepak and Dinesh together can complete a work in 35 days. Anil and Dinesh together can complete the same work in 60 days. In how many days Deepak alone can complete the same work?
