Question

14 men can finish a work in 30 days. How many days will it take to finish the work if its done by 12 men?​

Answer 1

Answer:

35days

Step-by-step explanation:

Men = 14 , 12

Days = 30 , x

Men : Days = 14 : 30 : : 12 : x

( decrease in men gives increase in days)

14/12 = x/30

14 × 30 = 12 × x

420 = 12x

x = 420 / 12

x = 35

Therefore 12 men can complete work in 35 days

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

time taken by 14 men to finish the work = 30 days

work done by 14 men in 30 days = 1

work done by 14 men in 1 day = 1/30

work done by 1 man in 1 day = (1/30)*1/14

= 1/420

so, the work done by 12 men in 1 day = (1/420)*12

= 12/420 = 3/105 = 1/35

so time taken by 12 men to finish the work

== 35 days ANSWER.
