If 15 persons working 8 hours a day can complete another piece of work, thrice as great? |
|
Answer» Answer: So the 15 men require 96 hours to work (16×6=96). Now consider the case of the 10 men.Let the NUMBER of days be X. Therefore the men will need 8 X hours to work (8× x =8X) As the number of men is decreasing, the number of days would increase. The ( no of men× working hours ) is constant. Therefore using the ratio method, the required number of days are, 8× X × 10 = 96 × 15 X = 1440/80 X = 18 days So 10 men will complete the same work in 18 days if they work 8 hours per day Hope this helps !
