Question

18 men bind 900 books in 10 days. Find how many binders will be required to bind 600 books in 12 days?

Answer 1

Let the required no of binders be X.

Less books , Less binders (Direct Proportion)

More days, Less binders (Indirect proportion)



Books 900:660 Days 12 : 10 }⋮⋮ 18:x
Therefore, (900 * 12 * x) = (660 * 10 * 18)

=> x = 11
