  2. 4 days
  3. 5 days
  4. 6 days
Show answer
Answer: B. 4 days
Let the efficiency of a man be M and a boy be B. (6M + 8B) × 10 = (26M + 48B) × 2 60M + 80B = 52M + 96B 60M - 52M = 96B - 80B 8M = 16B 1M = 2B Total work = (6M + 8B) × 10 = (6M + 4M) × 10 = 10M × 10 = 100 man-days. Now, we need to find the time taken by 15 men and 20 boys. 15 men + 20 boys = 15M + (20/2)M = 15M + 10M = 25M. Time taken = Total work / Efficiency = 100M / 25M = 4 days.
