If 3 men or 4 women can plough a field in 43 days, how long will 7 men and 5 women take to plough it?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
3 men or 4 women can plough the field in 43 days
3 men = 4 women
1 man = $$\frac{4}{3}$$ women
7 man = $$\frac{{28}}{3}$$ women
7 men and 5 women = $$5 + \frac{{28}}{3}$$  = $$\frac{{43}}{3}$$ women
4 women can plough field in 43 days
So,
1 women can plough in = 43 × 4 days
Hence,
$$\frac{{43}}{3}$$ women can plough = $$\frac{{43 \times 4 \times 3}}{{43}}$$   = 12 days
