12 men can complete a work in 8 days. 16 women can complete the same work in 12 days. 8 men and 8 women started working and worked for 6 days. How many more men are to be added to complete the remaining work in 1 day?

Correct Answer: 12

Explanation:

1 man's 1 day work =1/96 ; 1 woman's 1 day work = 1/192


Work done in 6 days= 6 8 96 + 8 192 = 6 × 1 8   = 3 4  


Remaining work = 1/4


(8 men +8 women)'s 1 day work =  1 8 96 + 8 192  =1/8


Remaining work =1/4 -  1/8 = 1/8


 


 1/96 work is done in 1 day by 1 man


 


Therefore, 1/8 work will be done in 1 day by 96 x (1/8) =12 men
