4 men or 6 boys can complete the work in 20 days.
Work done by 4 men in 1 day = 1/20, so 1 man’s work = 1/(20×4) = 1/80.
Work done by 6 boys in 1 day = 1/20, so 1 boy’s work = 1/(20×6) = 1/120.
Work done by 6 men in 1 day = 6 × (1/80) = 3/40.
Work done by 11 boys in 1 day = 11 × (1/120) = 11/120.
Total work done in 1 day = (3/40) + (11/120) = 1/6.
Time required to finish the work = 1 ÷ (1/6) = 6 days.
Answer: 6 days (Option 3).
Work done by 4 men in 1 day = 1/20, so 1 man’s work = 1/(20×4) = 1/80.
Work done by 6 boys in 1 day = 1/20, so 1 boy’s work = 1/(20×6) = 1/120.
Work done by 6 men in 1 day = 6 × (1/80) = 3/40.
Work done by 11 boys in 1 day = 11 × (1/120) = 11/120.
Total work done in 1 day = (3/40) + (11/120) = 1/6.
Time required to finish the work = 1 ÷ (1/6) = 6 days.
Answer: 6 days (Option 3).
