Whatsapp
Facebook
Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y.
| Then, 6x + 8y = | 1 | and 26x + 48y = | 1 | . |
| 10 | 2 |
| Solving these two equations, we get : x = | 1 | and y = | 1 | . |
| 100 | 200 |
| (15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work = |  | 15 | + | 20 |  | = | 1 | . |
| 100 | 200 | 4 |
15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.
