If 10 men or 20 boys can make 260 mats in 20 days, then how many mats will be made by 8 men and 4 boys in 20 days?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option A
10 men = 20 boys
→1 men = 2 boys
8 men = 2 × 8 boys = 16 boys
Then,
(16 boys + 4 boys) = 20 boys can make 260 mats in 20 days
Now,
It can be calculated by work equivalence method:
20 × 260 × 20 = x × 20 × 20
x = 260 mats

It's possible just read question carefully.
In 1st sentence OR is there, means only 20 boys making 260 mates either you can take as only 10 men is making 260 mates.
But in 2 sentence both boys + men togather making mates. So the answer will be 260 only.
