  • Question
  • 4 men and 6 women can complete a work in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women can complete it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women complete it?


  • Options
  • A. 35
  • B. 40
  • C. 45
  • D. 50

  • Correct Answer
  • 40 

    Explanation
    Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 woman's 1 day's work = y.

    Then, 4x + 6y = 1 and 3x + 7y = 1 .
    8 10

    Solving the two equations, we get: x = 11 , y = 1
    400 400

    ∴ 1 woman's 1 day's work = 1 .
    400

    ⟹ 10 women's 1 day's work = 1 x 10 = 1 .
    400 40

    Hence, 10 women will complete the work in 40 days.
