- D. 23
Correct answer
15
Explanation
Explanation Work done by 12 men in 4 days = 1 (full work) Work done by 1 man in 4 days = 1/12 Work done by 6 men in 4 days = 6/12 = 1/2 (i.e., half of the work) Work done by 6 men in 2 days = (1/2) × (2/4) = 1/4 Remaining work = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 15 women complete the full work in 4 days → 1 woman’s 1-day work = 1/(15 × 4) = 1/60 Work needed in 3 days → x women × 3 × (1/60) = 3/4 x = (3/4) × (60/3) = 15 women
