6.8 days
Incorrect Answer7.8 days
Incorrect Answer5.4 days
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Initial Scenario:
- 12 women can make 15 toys in 6 days.
- They work 8 hours a day.
- Analysis:
- Total hours of work = 12 women x 6 days x 8 hours = 576 woman-hours for 15 toys.
- For 1 toy, hours required = 576 / 15 = 38.4 woman-hours.
- New Scenario:
- 20 toys to be made by 10 women.
- Working 12 hours a day.
- Calculation:
- Total woman-hours required for 20 toys = 20 x 38.4 = 768 woman-hours.
- Woman-hours per day = 10 women x 12 hours = 120 woman-hours per day.
- Days required = 768 / 120 = 6.4 days.
- Conclusion:
- Option 3: 6.4 days
