Question

If 32 men can plough a field in 15 days, in how many days can 20 men
plough the same field

Answer 1

Answer:

20 men will plough the field in 24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it is given that 32 men can plough a field in 15 days

We have to find the number of days 20 men will take to plough the same field

So, let us assume the number of days taken to be x

Now, as the number of men will decrease the time taken will increase

So, we will use inverse proportion

days taken by 32 men = 15

days taken by 20 men = x

                                20x = 32 × 15

                                20x = 480

                                    x = 480/20

                                   x = 24
