​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

10 labours can dig in 15 days

It means 1 labour can dig in 15/ 10 days

In order to find how many days 8 labour take

$\frac{15}{10} \times 8$

$12 \: days$

Answer 2

Solution:-
Let the no. of days take by 8 labour to dig the same pond be x.
Given that no. of days taken by 10 labour to dig a pond = 15
∴ work done by 10 labour in 15 days = work done by 8 labour in x days
⇒10 × 15=8 × x
=> (10 x 15)/ 8= x
​
= 18.75
Hence, 8 labour will dig the same pond in 18.75 days.
