[Bank PO 2010]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    3 men can do a piece of work in 6 days. 5 Women can do the same work in 18 days

    So, 3 × 6 = 5 × 15

    ⇒18 men = 90 women

    ⇒1 man = 5 women

     Here,

    M1= 5, D1=18, W2=1

    M2= 30-x, D2= ?, W1= 1

    So as per the formula,

         M1 D1 W2 = M2 D2 W1

        5×18×1=30×D2×1     D2=5×1830=3 days

     Hence option A is correct.
