Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- 1 man can finish the work in $ (8\times 12)=96days $
1 woman can finish the work in $ (4\times 48)=192days $
1 child can finish the work in $ (10\times 24)=240days $
1 man’s 1 day’s work $ =\frac{1}{96} $
1 woman’s 1 day’s work $ =\frac{1}{192} $
1 child’s 1 day’s work $ =\frac{1}{240} $
(10 men + 4 women + 10 children)’s 1 day’s work
$ =( \frac{10}{96}+\frac{4}{192}+\frac{10}{240} )=( \frac{5}{48}+\frac{1}{48}+\frac{1}{24} ) $
$ =( \frac{5+1+2}{48} )=\frac{8}{48}=\frac{1}{6} $
Hence, they will finish the work in 6 days.
