Simran can complete a work in 20 days. How much work will be done by her in 12 days?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → \(\frac{3}{5}\)
If a work takes 20 days, the same part of it is done each day, that is, \(\frac{1}{20}\) of the work; the work done is this daily part multiplied by the number of days.
Work done in one day \(\displaystyle =\frac{1}{20}\)
Work done in 12 days \(\displaystyle =\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}\)
