Question

15 women finish the work of harvesting a groundnut crop in 8 days. Find the number of women if the same job is to be completed in 6 days.

Answer 1

answer : number of women = 20

explanation : 15 women can finish the work of harvesting a ground crop in 8 days then, we have to find out number of women if the same job is to be completed in 6 days.

use formula, $W_1D_1=W_2D_2$

here, $W_1$ = 15 women

$D_1$ = 8 days

$D_2$ = 6 days

so, 15 × 8 = $W_2$ × 6

or, 120 = $W_2$ × 6

or, $W_2$ = 120/6 = 20

hence, number of women = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer is 20 women

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given

total number of women is

= 15

time taken in completing the work

= 8 days

let the work is 120 unit and it is completed in 8 days

so the work in

1 day = 120/8

= 15 work unit

15 work unit is done by 15 women in a day so 1 women in a day will work 1 unit

to complete the work in 6 days

number of women will be

=120/6

= 20 women
