Twenty women can do a work in sixteen days. Sixteen men can complete the same work in fifteen days. What is the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman?
3 : 4
4 : 3
5 : 3
Data inadequate
Answer: Option
Explanation:

(20 x 16) women can complete the work in 1 day.

1 woman's 1 day's work = 1 .
320

(16 x 15) men can complete the work in 1 day.

1 man's 1 day's work = 1
240

So, required ratio
= 1 : 1
240 320
= 1 : 1
3 4
= 4 : 3 (cross multiplied)

Ratio of man and woman is asked here, but not woman and man. So the answer will be 3:4 (option A).
