Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Inverse Proportion:
3 persons can build a house in 8 days.
1 person can build it in (3 * 8) = 24 days.[less men, more days]
∴ Number of persons required = 24/6 = 4.
Therefore, 4 persons are required to build the same house in 6 days.
(or)
Let x be the number of persons.
⇒ 3 * 8 = 6 * x
⇒ 24 = 6 * x
⇒ x = 4.
