Answer 1

12 members 25 days 20 members is equal to? Then therefore the answer is 15

Answer 2

given:12 men can reap a field in 25 days.
we have to find in how many days 20 men can reap the same field.
this is a case of inverse proportion.
So, x1y1=x2y2
12×25=20×x
300=20x
x=300/20
x=15
hence, 20men can reap the field in 15 days.
