Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This solution based on inverse proportional method solution is attached

Answer 2

Given:

60 men are needed to complete a work in 14 days.

To Find:

How many men are required to complete the same work in 40 days?

Method:

If more days are given to complete a same work → Then less men are required

Men and days are in Inverse proportion.

Let 'x' men be required to complete the work in 40 days

14 days → 60 men

40 days → x men

By Inverse Proportionality, We can write this as:

x : 60 : : 14 : 40

⇒ 40x = 60 × 14

⇒ 40x = 840

⇒ x = 840 ÷ 40 = 21 men

Ans: 21 men are required to complete the work in 40 days.
