Question : One man and one woman together can complete a piece of work in 8 days. A man alone can complete the work in 10 days. In how many days can one woman alone complete the work?
Option 1: $\frac{140}{9}$ days
Option 2: $30$ days
Option 3: $40$ days
Option 4: $42$ days
Correct Answer: $40$ days
Solution : Given, The time taken by one man and one woman to complete the work = 8 days Time taken by a man to complete the work = 10 days ⇒ one man's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{10}$ Work done by one man and one woman in 1 day = $\frac{1}{8}$ ⇒ In one day work done by one woman = $\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{10}=\frac{10-8}{80}=\frac{2}{80}=\frac{1}{40}$ $\therefore$ Time taken by one woman to complete the work = 40 days Hence, the correct answer is $40$ days.
