​

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step-explanation:

Given :

Length of field = 140 m

Breadth = 36 m

Find the area of field :-

Area of rectangle = (Length × Breadth) sq. units

= (140 × 36) m²

= 5040 m²

Find the number of labourers are to be engaged to plough the field in a day

We know,

1 labourer can plough 120 sq. m in a day.

120 m² = 1 labourer

5040 m² = (1 × 5040)/120 = 42 labourers

Hence,

42 labourers are to be engaged to plough the field in a day.
