Correct Answer: 6 men
Explanation:
2 men and 5 women require 3 days to complete $\frac{1}{4}$ job
They complete $\frac{1}{4×3}$ = $\frac{1}{12}$ job in1 day.
3 men + 5 women require 2 days to complete $\frac{1}{4}$ job;
They complete $\frac{1}{4×2} = \frac{1}{8}$days.
3 men + 5 women = $\frac{1}{8}$ …………………(i)
2 men + 5 women = $\frac{1}{12}$……………………(ii) [ বিয়োগ করি ]
1 man= $\frac{1}{24}$
$\frac{1}{24}$ job is done in 1 day by 1 men
1 job is done in 1 day by 24 men
1 job is done in 4 day by $\frac{24}{4}$ =6 men.
