1. If 2 men or 3 women or 4 boys can do a piece of work in 52 days, then the same piece of work will be done by 1 man, 1 woman and 1 boy in:

Solution:
Work done by 2 men = 3 women = 4 boys
1 man = 2 boys
1 woman = 43 boys
Thus,
Boys × days = 4 × 52 boys × days
Again,
1 man + 1 women + 1 boys,
=2+43+1
=133  boys
Using work equivalent method,
boys × day = BOYS × DAYS
4×52=133×x(let)
x = 48 days
