Question

If 8 men and 12 women can do a piece of work in 25 days, in how many days can the work be done by 6 men and 11 women working together?

• A. 10 days
• B. 12 days
• C. 15 days
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is D Cannot be determined

The given data is insufficient to find out the number of days by which the work can be completed by 6 men and 11 women working together. This is because all we could calculate from the given data is: work can be completed in 200 man-days and 300 women days. In order to find the answer, we need both the man-days and women days separately.
