8 Men can do the Work in 25 days.
So in 1 day the 8 Men can do 1/25th of the Work.
Therefore in 1 day , 1 Man can do 1/200th of the Work. (Dividing 1/25th of the Work by 8)
12 Women can do the Work in 25 days
So in 1 day the 12 Women can do 1/25th of the Work
Therefore in 1 day, 1 Women can do 1/300th of the Work (Dividing 1/25th of the work by 12)
Now 6 Men and 11 Women “WORK TOGETHER” (according to the question)
From above we know that in 1 day , 1 man can do 1/200 of the Work
So 6 Men can 6 x 1/200 = 6/200 of the Work
Also from Above we know the 1 Women can do 1/300th of the Work in 1 day
Therefore 11 women can 11 multiplied by 1/300
11x 1/300 = 11/300
So in 1 day the WORK Done by 6 Men + 11 Women is equal to:
6/200 + 11/300 = 40/600
So In 1 day 40/600 of the Work gets done.
How long to complete the work
1 / (40/600) * 1 day = 600/40 = 15 days.
So it will take 6 men and 11 women working together just 15 Days to Finish the Work
