  1. A wall of 100 metres can be built by 7 men or 10 women in 10 days. How many days will 14 men and 20 women take to build a wall of 600 metres ?
    1. 15
    2. 20
    3. 25
    4. 30
Correct Option: A

Using Rule 1,
7 men ≡ 10 women

or 1 man
10
women
7

14 men + 20 women
=
10 × 14
+ 20women
7

= 40 women
Now, more work, more days
More women, less days
Work   1 : 6
: : 10 : x
Women   40 : 10

Where x = number of days
⇒ 1 × 40 × x = 6 × 10 × 10
or x =
600
= 15
40
