18 men can complete a project in 30 days and 16 women can complete the same project in 36 days. 15 men start working and after 9 days they are replaced by 18 women. In how many days will 18 women complete the remaining work ?
1). 20
2). 30
3). 26
4). 28
$\frac{M1D1}{W1}$ = $\frac{M2D2}{W2}$
W1=W2 = Q
$\frac{18Mx30}{Q}$ = $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$
M = $\frac{32}{30}$W ....(1)
Let the days required by 18 women to complete the remaining work = y days
so $\frac{(15Mx9)+(18W x y)}{Q}$ = $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$ ......(2)
using equation 1 and 2
$\frac{(16Wx9)+(18W x y)}{Q}$ = $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$
144W + 18Wy = 576W
18Wy = 432 W
y = 24 days
$\frac{M1D1}{W1}$ = $\frac{M2D2}{W2}$
W1=W2 = Q
$\frac{18Mx30}{Q}$ = $\frac{16Wx36}{Q}$
M = $\frac{32}{30}$W ....(1)
