Answer : 3. "6 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 6 days Explanation: From the given data, 12 children 16 days work,One child’s one day work = 1/192. 8 adults 12 days work,One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96. Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2 Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2 (6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12 1/12 work is done by them in 1 day. 1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.
