Answer 2

Answer:

$8$ men will consume the rice in $35$ days.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that twenty men consume a certain quantity of rice in $14$ days.

We need to determine that in how many days will $8$ men consume the same quantity of rice.

Since the quantity of rice in both the cases is same.

Let number of days in which eight men will consume the same quantity of rice be $x$

Hence, mathematically

$20*14=8*x$

Solving, we get

$x=280/8$

$x=35$ days
