Type: 04(relations between efficiency)

There is a great difference between 'and' & 'Or'. For example 4 men and 8 women can do a work in 10 days:
means it is unknown that who is Faster or slower (unknown efficiency relation between them)

Again, 4 men or 8 women can do a work in 10 days: means 4 men are equal to 8 women. Hence a man is
twice efficient as a woman.

Or operator

2) If 12 men or 18 women can do a piece of work in 14 days. How long will 8 men and 16 women take to
finish the work?

And operator

1) 3 men can do a piece of work in 6 days. 5 women can do the same work in 18 days. If 4 men and 10
women work together, then how long will it take to finish the work? Correct Answer: 3 days

2) 6 boys and 8 women finish a job in 6 days and 14 boys and 10 women finish the same job in 4 days. In how
many days Working together 1 boy and 1 women can finish the work?
