Q)

[Bank Clerks 2009]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

     1 man = 2 women 

    10 men = 20 women

    ∴ 10 men + 8 women 

    ⇒(20+8) women= 28 women

    4 men + 6 women= (8+6) women 

                               =14 women

    Here,

    M1 = 28, D1 =5, W2 =1

    M2 = 14, D2 = ?, W1 = 1

    So according to the formula,

         M1 D1 W2 = M2 D2 W1

     28×5×1=14×D2×1 D2=28×514=10 days

    Hence option B is correct.
