  1. 18 men or 36 boys working 6 hours a day can plough a field in 24 days. In how many days will 24 men and 24 boys working 9 hours a day plough the same field ?
    1. 9
    2. 10
    3. 6
    4. 8
Correct Option: D

18 men ≡ 36 boys
⇒ 1 man ≡ 2 boys
∴ 24 men + 24 boys
≡ (24 + 12) men
≡ 36 men
M1D1T1 = M2D2T2
⇒ 18 × 24 × 6 = 36 × D2 × 9

⇒ D2 =
18 × 24 × 6
= 8 days
36 × 9
