Question:

12 men can weave 20 shawls in 9 days. How many men will be required to weave 25 shawls in 27 days?

Options:

3

5

4

6

Correct Answer:

5

Explanation:

Formula to be used here,

⇒ \(\frac{M_1\;×\;D_1}{M_2\;×\;D_2}\) = \(\frac{W_1}{W_2}\),

where, M = No. of Men, D = No. of Days, W = Work,

⇒ Putting values in the formula,

⇒ \(\frac{12\;×\;9}{M_2\;×\;27}\) = \(\frac{20}{25}\),

⇒ \( { M}_{2 } \) = 5.
