Total work = Number of men * Number of days = Number of women * Number of days.Or, 16 men * 24 days = 48 women * 16 days.Therefore, 48 women = (16 * 24) / 16 = 24 men;or 1 man is as efficient as 2 women ------(1).Now, 12 men work for 14 days. The remaining work, (16 * 24) - (12 * 14) = 216 man-day.Since 12 women, that are equivalent to 6 men join the 12 men, effective strength = 12 + 6 = 18 men. Number of days to complete remaining 216 man-days of work = 216 / 18 = 12 days.
That is short cut I am still looking for the longer one

ReplyDeleteOr,
