Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Let work done by 1 man in i day be m
and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b
From the given data,
4(5m + 3b) = 23
20m + 12b = 23....(1)
2(3m + 2b) = 7
6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
m = 1, b = 1/4
Let the number of required boys = n
6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45
=> n = 2.
