d. Data is inadequate to draw any conclusion
Correct Answer: d. Data is inadequate to draw any conclusion
Question from UPSC Prelims 2022 CSAT Paper
Explanation :
24 men and 12 women
The answer to this question is d. Data is inadequate to draw any conclusion.
This is because the information given in the question does not specify whether men and women have the same efficiency in doing the work or if their efficiencies are different. Without this information, it’s not possible to determine how long it would take for 12 men and 24 women to do the same piece of work.
