If 3 men or 4 women can built a wall in 43 days, in how many days can 7 men and 5 women build this wall ?

1. 16 days
2. 25 days
3. 21 days
4. 12 days

Correct Option: D

3 men = 4 women
∴ 1 man = 4/3 women
∴ 7 men + 5 women = 7 x (4/3) + 5 = 43/3 women
∴ M₁D₁W₂ = M₂D₂W₁
∴ 4 x 43 x 1 = (43/3) x D₂ x 1
∴ D₂ = 3 x 4 = 12 days
