If 20 men can reap a field in 8 days. In how many days will 19 men reap the same field?
Answers
Answer:
20 men can reap a field in 8 days.
Number of days required for one man to reap the field = 8×20 =160
Number of days required for 19 men to reap the field = 160÷19 = 8 18/19.
19 men can reap the field in 8 18/19 days
Correct Question:
If 20 men can reap a field in 38 days. In how many days will 19 men reap the same field?
Answer:
19 men will take 40 days to reap the field
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
20 men reap a field in 38 days
To find:
days taken by 19 men to reap the same field
Solution:
We revise and recall the concept of ratio and proportion
It is given that
20 men reap the field in 38 days
So, 1 man will reap the field in = 20 X 38 days
Similarly, 19 men will reap the same field in = 20 x 38 days
19
∴ days taken by 19 men to reap the field= 760 days
19
∴ days taken by 19 men to reap the field= 40 days
Thus, 19 men will reap the same field in 40 days.
