If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days, the time taken by 15 men and 20 boys in doing the same type of work will be:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y.
| Then, 6x + 8y = | 1 | and 26x + 48y = | 1 | . |
| 10 | 2 |
| Solving these two equations, we get : x = | 1 | and y = | 1 | . |
| 100 | 200 |
| (15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work = |  |
15 | + | 20 |  |
= | 1 | . |
| 100 | 200 | 4 |
15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.

14 * 10/35 = 4days
8 + 6 = 14.
8 + 6 = 14.
