days. How many more masons should be
employed to build another similar house in 24
days?
in 20an how​

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Explanation:

1 month 12 days = 42 days

If masons will increase, the days will decrease, so we will use inverse proportionality, here.

42 days = 16 masons

1 day = 42 × 16 masons

24 days = (42 × 16)/24 masons = 28 masons

So, (28 - 16) = 12 masons will have to be employed.
