Answer 2

Answer: 56 days

Step-by-step explanation:          

                  

Given,

i) 16 men can build house in 35 day

ii) 10 Men = ?

                                     

To find: We have to find time taken by 10 workers to do same work.

1 person can build house in No. Of days.  

                            1 person = 16 * 35

                                           = 560 days.

                              

So, If that contractor gives work to one person, then worker will complete it in 160 days.                    

And, As per as question, It is given that there are 10 men.

∴      560/10 = 56

                                     

It means that 10 men require 56 days for building the house.            

Therefore, 10 workers will do same work in 56 days.

                                     

Explanation:

In this question, First 16 men can do the work in 35 days and in second there was only no. of workers. So, we have to find the no. of days.

                     

According to question, We multiplied 16 with 35 and we get 560. After that, we divide 560 with 10 workers. So, we get 56.

So, 56 days are require to do same work for 10 workers.
