Answer: 10 men will complete the same work in 18 days if they work 8 hours per day
Step-by-step explanation:
So the 15 men require 96 hours to work (16×6=96).
Now consider the case of the 10 men.Let the number of days be X. Therefore the men will need 8 X hours to work (8× x =8X)
As the number of men is decreasing, the number of days would increase.
The ( no of men× working hours ) is constant.
Therefore using the ratio method, the required number of days are,
8× X × 10 = 96 × 15
X = 1440/80
X = 18 days
So 10 men will complete the same work in 18 days if they work 8 hours per day
Hope this helps !
