  • Question
  • 4 men or 6 women or 10 children can paint a house in 5 days. The painting is given to a couple and their 5 sons. They finish the job in?


  • Options
  • A. 11/60 days
  • B. 55/11 days
  • C. 56/11 days
  • D. 111/5 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 55/11 days 

    Explanation

    4 men = 6 women = 10 children
    ? 1 man = 5/2 children
    1 women = 5/3 children

    Now, 1 couple + 5 children = 1 man + 1 women + 5 children
    = (5/2) + (5/3) + 5 = 55/6 children

    According to the formula
    M1D1 = M2D2
    ? 10 x 5 = (55/6) x D2
    ? D2 = 60/11 days
    = 55/11 days
