Let the work mentioned in the problem be W and the rates of doing work of a man and woman be m and w respectively. Then we have:
⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ 3 × 1 5 m = 4 5 m = W 6 × 1 5 w = 9 0 w = W ⟹ m = 4 5 W ⟹ w = 9 0 W ⟹ m = 2 w
And:
2 × 3 m + 3 x w 6 m + 3 x w 1 2 w + 3 x w ⟹ x = W = 9 0 w = 9 0 w = 3 9 0 − 1 2 = 3 7 8 = 2 6 Note that W = 9 0 w Note that m = 2 w
