Question

55 cows can graze a field in 16 days. How many cows will graze the same field in 10
days?​

Answer 1

Answer: 88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cows that can graze the field in 10 days.

Number of days  16  10

Number of cows  55  x

Since, the number of cows and the number of days taken by them to graze the field are in inverse variation, we have:

⇒  16×55=10×x

⇒  x=

10

16×55

​

⇒  x=88

∴  The required number of cows is 88.
