Answer : 3. "36"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 36 Explanation: Given 4men, 12 women and 20 children work for  2 days. Workdone for 2 days by 4men, 12 women and 20 children = 4 x 26 x 12 + 12 x 28 x 18 + 20 x 218 x 10 = 12 Therefore, remaining work = 1 - 12 = 12 To complete the same work by only men in 1 day, We know that M1 x D1 = M2 x D2 Here M1 = 6 , D1 = 12 and M2 = M , D2 = 1 12 x 6 = M x 1 => M = 12 x 6 = 72 => But the remaining work = 1/2 Men required => 1/2 x 72 = 36 Only men required to Complete the remaining work in 1 day = 36.

Answer : 2. "72/5 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 72/5 days Explanation: Work done by Shyam and Rahim in 8 days = 8/32 = 1/4 Remaining work to be done by Shyam and Ram = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 Given efficieny of Ram is half of Rahim i.e, as Rahim can do the work in 48 days, Ram can do the work in 24 days. One day work of Ram and Shyam = (1/32 - 1/48) + 1/24 = 5/96 Hence, the total work can be done by Shyam and Ram together in 96/5 days.   Therefore, remaining work 3/4 can be done by them in 3/4 x 96/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 days.
