Dear
8 men and 6 boys can finish a piece of work in one day while 2 men and 3 boys can finish it in 3 days. Find the time taken by one man alone and that by one boy alone to finish the work.
I got the answer from meritnation
but one doubt
when we find the value for y
8/12+6y=1
we will get 2/3+6y=1
how we go 6y=1/3? please explain
Dear Student,
Solution)
when we are finding the value for y
8/12+6y=1
we will get 2/3+6y=1
{8/12 is divided y 4, so we get, 2/3}
now, how we go 6y=1/3?
just take 2/3 on RHS, it will become, 1-(2/3)
so, on solving and taking LCM
