Question:

15 persons working 6 hours per day earn ₹900. How much money will 20 persons earn, working 10 hours per day?

Options:

₹1,800

₹1,500

₹2,000 

₹2,100

Correct Answer:

₹2,000 

Explanation:

Formula to be used here, 

⇒ \(\frac{M_1\;×\;H_1}{M_2\;×\;H_2}\) = \(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\)

where, M = No. of Men, H = No. of hours, E = Earnings,

⇒ Putting values in the formula,

⇒ \(\frac{15\;×\;6}{20\;×\;10}\) = \(\frac{900}{E_2}\)

⇒ \( { E}_{2 } \) = Rs. 2000.
