[Bank Clerks 2009]


  • Explanation

    According to the question,

    1 man= 2 woman= 3 boys

     ∴ 1 man + 1 woman + 1 boy

    =3+32+1boys =112 boys

    Here,

    M1 = 3, D1 =88

    M2 = 112, D2 = ?

    So according to the formula,

         M1 D1 = M2 D2

    ∴  Required no. of days can becalculated as below,

    3×88=112×D2D2=3×2×8811=3×2×8=48 days

    Hence option D is correct.
