1. 2
2. 4
3. 6
4. 3

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2

Given:

Time taken by 10 women to Weave 300 basket = 7 days

Formula used:

M₁D₁T₁/W₁ = M₂D₂T₂/W₂

Calculation:

∵ The efficiency of 10 men = Efficiency of 12 women

⇒ 10 Men = 12 Women

⇒ 5 Men = 6 women

Let the Number of days required = a

∴ (12 × 7)/300 = [(9 + 5) × a]/100

⇒ 28 = 14a

⇒ a = 2 days.
