उत्तर

12 men = 18 women

∴ 4 m =`18/12xx4`

= 6 women

Total women in second case = 4 men + 8 women

6 + 8 = 14 women

18 women can do a piece of work in 7 days

Let 14 women will do the same work in x days

∴ 18: 14: : 7: x ........(Less women, more days)

⇒ 18 : 14 : : x : 7 

x = `(18xx7)/14` .......(Using inverse proportion)

= 9 

∴ They will complete the work in 9 days
