The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations. ### Step 1: Calculate the total work done Given that 6 men and 10 women can reap \( \frac{5}{12} \) of 360 hectares in 15 days by working 6 hours per day. First, we calculate the total area of land: \[ \text{Total area} = 360 \text{ hectares} \] Now, calculate the area reaped: \[ \text{Area reaped} = \frac{5}{12} \times 360 = 150 \text{ hectares} \] Next, we calculate the total work done in terms of man-hours: \[ \text{Total man-hours} = \text{Number of days} \times \text{Hours per day} = 15 \times 6 = 90 \text{ hours} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the efficiency of 6 men and 10 women Let’s denote the work done by 1 man in 1 hour as \( M \) and the work done by 1 woman in 1 hour as \( W \). From the problem, we know that: \[ 6M + 10W \text{ can complete } 150 \text{ hectares in } 90 \text{ hours.} \] Thus, the total work done in man-hours is: \[ (6M + 10W) \times 90 = 150 \] \[ 6M + 10W = \frac{150}{90} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 3: Convert men to women using the given ratio We are given the ratio \( 2M = 3W \), which implies: \[ M = 1.5W \] Substituting \( M \) in the equation: \[ 6(1.5W) + 10W = \frac{5}{3} \] \[ 9W + 10W = \frac{5}{3} \] \[ 19W = \frac{5}{3} \] \[ W = \frac{5}{57} \] Now substituting back to find \( M \): \[ M = 1.5W = 1.5 \times \frac{5}{57} = \frac{7.5}{57} = \frac{5}{38} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining work The total work in terms of units is: \[ \text{Total work} = 360 \text{ hectares} = 360 \text{ units} \] The work already done is: \[ \text{Work done} = 150 \text{ hectares} = 150 \text{ units} \] Remaining work: \[ \text{Remaining work} = 360 - 150 = 210 \text{ units} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the new workforce Now, 2 more men and 4 more women are employed: \[ \text{New number of men} = 6 + 2 = 8 \] \[ \text{New number of women} = 10 + 4 = 14 \] Convert men to women: \[ 8M = 8 \times 1.5W = 12W \] Total workforce in terms of women: \[ \text{Total women} = 12W + 14W = 26W \] ### Step 6: Calculate the time to finish the remaining work Now, they will work for 7 hours a day. The total work done in one day is: \[ \text{Daily work} = 26W \times 7 \text{ hours} = 182 \text{ units} \] To find the number of days required to finish the remaining work: \[ \text{Days required} = \frac{\text{Remaining work}}{\text{Daily work}} = \frac{210}{182} \approx 1.15 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the work will be finished in approximately **1.15 days**.
