Q:

2 men and 7 boys can do a piece of work in 14 days; 3 men and 8 boys can do the same in 11 days. Then, 8 men and 6 boys can do three times the amount of this work in 

A) 18 days B) 21 days
C) 24 days D) 30 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21 days

Explanation:

(2 x 14) men +(7 x 14) boys = (3 x 11) men + (8 x 11) boys

 =>5 men= 10 boys    => 1man= 2 boys

 Therefore, (2 men+ 7 boys) = (2 x 2 +7) boys = 11 boys

 

( 8 men + 6 boys) = (8 x 2 +6) boys = 22 boys.

 Let the required  number of days be x.

 More boys , Less days     (Indirect proportion)

 More work , More days    (Direct proportion)

 Boys22:11Work1 : 3⋮⋮ 14:x

 Therefore, (22 * 1 * x) = (11 * 3 * 14)

=> x = 21 

Hence, the required number of days = 21
