Answer 1

Answer:

40 men can finish the work in 5 days

1 man can finish the work in 5/40 days

hence, 50 men can finish the work in 50×5/40

= (find out yourself) days

Answer 2

$\mathbf\red{Given:-}$

• 40 men can finish a piece of work in 5 days

$\mathbf\blue {To\:Find}$

• Number of days taken by 50 men finish the work

$\mathbf\green {Solution}$

$\tt\orange{Number\:of\:days\:taken\: by \: 40 \:men = 5}$

$\tt\green {Number\: of \: days\: taken\: by\: 1 \: man = 40×5}$

$\tt\green {\implies 200\:days}$

$\tt\orange {Number\:of\:days\: taken \: by \:50\: men = \frac {200}{50}}$

$\tt\orange {\implies 4\: days}$

$\tt\purple {Therefore, \: 50 \: men\: can\: do\:the \:same \:work \: in \: 4 \: days}$
