Question

5 men and 2 boys working together can do four times as much work per hour as a man and a boy together. The work done by a man and a boy should be in the ratio

• A. 1 : 2
• B. 2 : 1
• C. 1 : 3
• D. 4 : 1

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2 : 1

Obviously,
(5 M + 2B) = 4(1M + 1B)
$\therefore$ M = 2B
$\therefore$ Work done by a man and boy are in the ratio 2 : 1.
