Option 1: 1 day

Option 2: 2 days

Option 3: 3 days

Option 4: 4 days

Team Careers360 20th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 2 days


Solution : Given: Three men can complete a piece of work in 6 days.
Part of work done in 2 day = $\frac{1}{6}×2=\frac{1}{3}$
Remaining work = $1-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$
We know that: $\frac{M_1 ×D_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2 ×D_2}{W_2}$
Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are the numbers of men, and $D_1$ and $D_2$
