Question:

15 men can complete a task in 10 days. In how many days can 20 men complete the same task?

Options:

6.5 days

7.5 days

5.5 days

8.5 days

Correct Answer:

7.5 days

Explanation:

Formula to be used here,

\( { M}_{1 } \) x \( { D}_{1 } \)  = \( { M}_{2 } \) x \( { D}_{2 } \)

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

⇒ Putting values in the formula,

⇒ 15 x 10 = 20 x \( { D}_{2 } \)

\( { D}_{2 } \) = 7.5 days.
