Question

36men can complete a piece of work in 18 days. in how many days will27 men complete the same work

Answer 1

Less Men, means more Days {Indirect Proportion}

Let the number of days be x
then,

27 : 36 :: 18 : x
[Please pay attention, we have written 27 : 36 rather than 36 : 27, in indirect proportion, if you get it then chain rule is clear to you :)]

\begin{aligned}
x = \frac{36*18}{27} \\
x = 24
\end{aligned}
So 24 days will be required to get work done by 27 men.

Answer 2

hey here is your answer

36*18/27
24 days
