Question

6 men earn rupees 150 in 10 days how much money will be earned by 2 men in 7 days ?

Answer 1

Rs 35 will be earned by 2 men in 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 6 men earn rupees 150 in 10 days.

And we have to find that how much money will be earned by 2 men in 7 days.

The above situation can be solved using unitary method;

Firstly, we are given that 6 men earn rupees 150 in 10 days;

This means that 6 men earn in 1 day =  $\frac{150}{10}$

                                                             =  Rs 15

So, 6 men earn Rs 15 per day.

Now, 6 men earn in 1 day =  Rs 15

         1 men earn in 1 day =  $\frac{15}{6}$ = Rs 2.5

So, 1 men earn Rs 2.5 in 1 day.

Now, we have to find how much money will be earned by 2 men in 7 days.

Money earn by 1 men in 1 day = Rs 2.5

Money earned by 2 men in 1 day = Rs ($2.5 \times 2$)

                                                       = Rs 5

So, money earned by 2 men in 7 days = Rs ($5 \times 7$)

                                                                = Rs 35

Therefore, Rs 35 will be earned by 2 men in 7 days.
