Question

A contractor estimates that 16 men can renovate a house in 35 days If he uses only 10 men how long will it take to finish the same work ?
please solve my question.

Answer 1

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

                                 

Given,

i) 16 men can build house in 35 days

ii) 10 Men = ?

                                           

First, We will find

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.

                 

So,  $\frac{560}{10} = 56$

                                       

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

56 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be solved with the inverse relation concept that states if one quantity increases other decreases and if one decreases other will increase.

16 men can do a work in 35 days

1 man can do in = 16*35 = 560

thus 10 men can do it in = 560/10 = 56 days
