50 men or 80 women can finish a job in 50 days. A contractor deploys 40 men and 48 women for this work but after every duration of 10 days, 5 men and 8 women are removed till the work is completed. The work is completed in ?
-
- 45 days
- 50 days
- 54 days
- 62 days
Correct Option: B
Since, 50 men can do a job in 50 days.
So, work done by 1 man in a day = 1/(50 x 50)
Also, 80 women can do the job in 50 days.
So, work done by 1 women in 1 day = 1/(50 x 80)
Now, work done by 40 men and 48 women in first 10 days
= (40 x 10)/(50 x 50) + (48 x 10)/(50 x 80)
= 4/25 + 3/25 = 7/25
Now, 5 men and 8 women are removed after 10 days,
So work done by 35 men and 40 women in 10 days = (35 x 10)/(50 x 50) + (40 x 10)/(50 x 80)
= 7/50 + 1/10 = (7 + 5)/50
= 6/25
Again, 5 men and 8 women are removed after 10 days,
So work done by 30 men and 32 women in 10 days = (30 x 10)/(50 x 50) + (32 x 10)/(50 x 80) = 5/25
Now, after every 10 days as the number of men and
women decrease, work done also decreased by 1/25th past.
So, work done after every 10 days upto 50 days = 7/25 + 6/25 + 5/25 + 4/25 + 3/25
= 25/25 = 1
So, it will take 50 days for them to complete the work.
