1. Answer : 2

Explanation : Productivity = Total production/area of Agr.land 

Productivity of UP = [ (35000+30000+25000) / (30/100) ] = 300000  

Productivity of MP = [ (30000+37500+27500) / (25/100) ] = 380000  

Productivity of Bihar = [ (22500+27500+25000) / (20/100) ] = 375000 

Productivity of Odisha = [ (22500+15000+10000) / (5/100) ]= 950000  

Productivity of Haryana = [ (30000+25000+35000) / (8/100) ] = 1125000

Let 1 woman's 1 day work = x.

Then, 1 man's 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child's 1 day work  x/4.

So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7

28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49

1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.

So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.
