SSC MTS 19th July 2022 Shift-1
Explanation:
- Initially, 35 girls can complete the work in 12 days.
- We can calculate the total amount of work as 35 girls * 12 days = 420 girl-days.
- If 5 fewer girls are working, then 30 girls are doing the job.
- To find out how many days 30 girls would need to complete 420 girl-days of work, we use the formula: Total work = Number of girls * Number of days.
- Rearranging the formula gives us: Number of days = Total work / Number of girls.
- Substituting the values: 420 girl-days / 30 girls = 14 days.
- Therefore, the number of days required is 14.
Correct Option: 4. 14
