Question : If 4 men or 6 boys can finish a piece of work in 20 days, then in how many days can 6 men and 11 boys finish the same work?
Option 1: 5
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 7
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Time taken by 4 men to complete the work = 20 days Part of work done by 4 men in a day = $\frac{1}{20}$ Part of work done by 1 man in a day = $\frac{1}{20×4}=\frac{1}{80}$ Time taken by 6 boys to complete the work = 20 days Part of work done by 6 boys in a day = $\frac{1}{20}$ Part of work done by 1 boy in a day = $\frac{1}{20×6}=\frac{1}{120}$ Part of the work done by 6 men and 11 boys in a day = $\frac{6}{80} + \frac{11}{120}$ = $\frac{3}{40} + \frac{11}{120}$ = $\frac{9+11}{120}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ Time taken by 6 men and 11 boys to complete the work = 6 days Hence, the correct answer is 6.
