Twelve men can do a work in twenty days while twenty women can finish the same work in sixteen days. Find the ratio between the capacity of a man and a woman.

A. 3:4
B. 5:4
C. 4:3
D. 5:3
Part of work completed by a man in a day = 1/(12*20)
= 1/240 Part of work completed by a woman in a day = 1/(20*16) = 1/320 Ratio of their capacities
= (1/240):(1/320) = 320:240 = 4:3

C. 2:3
D. 2:1
Work done by 20 women in 1 day = 1/16
Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 1/(16×20)
Work done by 16 men in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/(15×16)
Ratio of the capacity of a man and woman =1/(15×16) : 1/(16×20) = 1/15 : 1/20

A. 2
B. 3 3⁄7
C. 4 ¼
D. 5
Work done by P in 1 day = 1/24
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1/6
Work done by R in 1 day = 1/12
Work done by P,Q and R in 1 day = 1/24 + 1/6 + 1/12 = 7/24
=> Working together, they will complete the work in 24/7 days = 3 3⁄7 days
