Question:

How many men will be required to plough 50 acres of land in 10 days if 15 men required 6 days to plough 10 acres of land?

Options:

45

40

55

50

Correct Answer:

45

Explanation:

Formula to be used here,

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

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

⇒ Putting values in the formula,

⇒ \(\frac{M_1\;×\;10}{15\;×\;6}\) = \(\frac{50}{10}\)

⇒ \( { M}_{1 } \)  = 45.
