Answer 2

Answer:

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

5 men work for 6 hrs a day means :

5 × 6 = 30 hrs per day

The entire task to reap the field takes:

30 × 20 = 600 hrs

Thus, This is an example of inverse proportion as, if more men are working, the task would be completed in lesser time.

15 men working for 8 hrs a day means,

15 × 8 = 120 hrs per day

Thus, to complete the task which requires 600 hrs,

600 ÷ 120 = 5 days!

Thus,

Answer => 5 days.
