b) 24 females complete a job in 20 days working 8 hours a day.In how many days 10 females will complete the work for 12 hours a day?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I will solve b) only.
In the first scenario, the rate of work is of the work per hour for each female.
In the second scenario, the rate of work is of the work per hour for each female.
The rate is (assumed) the same in both cases, which gives you an equation
= .
Or, equivalently,
24*20*8 = 10*x *12.
Hence, x = = 32 days.
Answer. In 32 days.
