Ans : A

yc = 3650/365 = 10 s/day

oc = 4/5 * 10 = 8 s/day

2 oc + 1 yc = 26 s/day

young ones do 3650 pairs every year = 10 every day
the old ones do 8 pairs every day

two old and a one young can do 2*8+10 =26 pairs a day = 52 shoes

I guess the question stem should have pair of shoes instead of shoes !!

Number of shoes/day the young cobbler fixes= 3650/365= 10

Number of shoes old cobbler fixes= 3650*80/100

Number of shoes 2 old cobbler fixes in one day= 2* 3650 *80/100 *1/365= 16

Total shoes fixed in one day= 10+16= 26

A is the answer

The rate of the older cobbler is 0.8 x 3650 = 2,920 pairs of shoes per year.

So the combined daily rate of one young and two old cobblers is:

(2,920 x 2 + 3650)/365 = 9490/365 = 26 pairs of shoes/day.

Alternate Solution:

The daily rate of the young cobbler is 3650/365 = 10 pairs. Thus, the daily rate of an old cobbler is 0.8 x 10 = 8 pairs. So the combined daily rate of one young and two old cobblers is 10 + 2 x 8 = 26 pairs of shoes.

Answer: A

Young cobbler fixes shoes in an year= 3650 shoes/yr= 3650/365= 10 shoes/day
Old cobbler fixed 20% less shoes than young cobbler per day= 10-(10*20/100)= 8 shoes/day
So, 2 old & 1 young cobbler fixes shoes per day= (8*2)+10= 26 shoes
