  • Question
  • 9 girls working 7 hours a day can complete a piece of work in 15 day. In how many days can 6 girls working for 9 hours a day, complete the same piece of work?


  • Options
  • A. 35/4 days
  • B. 17.5 days
  • C. 19 3/4 days
  • D. 37/3 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 17.5 days 

    Explanation

    Let the number of days be 'p' 

    As the work is same, we know that

    M 1   x   D 1   x   H 1   =   M 2   x   D 2   x   H 2

    Where M = Men, D = Days, H = Hours per day 

    Here M1 = 9, D1 = 15, H1 = 7 

    M2 = 6, D2 = p, H2 = 9 

    => 9 x 15 x 7 = 6 x p x 9 

    => p = 35/2 = 17.5 days.
