Question:

14 men can complete a work in 15 days. If 21 men are employed, then in how many days will they complete the same work?

Options:

10

14

12

15

Correct Answer:

10

Explanation:

Using formula,

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

where, M = no. of men, D = no. of days

⇒ 14 x 15 = 21 x \( { D}_{2} \) ⇒ \( { D}_{2} \) = 10 days.

Therefore 21 men will complete the work in 10 days.
