Question

8. 44 men can finish a piece of work in 36 days.
How many men will be needed to finish it in
16 days?​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is in the inverse proportion

If number of men increases then time take to complete the work will decrease

So

Let 1 rupee be the wage per person per day

Then 44 men earn 44 rupees per day

So 44 men earn 44×36 rupees in 36 days

44×36 = 1584 (it is total worth of the work)

To complete in 16 days

1584/16 = 99

So to complete the work in 16 days 99 men are required

Answer is 99

Thank you
