Q.

39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day. In how many days will 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, complete the work?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Let the required number of days be x.

Less persons, More days (Indirect Proportion)

More working hours per day, Less days (Indirect Proportion)

Persons 30 : 39 :: 12 : x
Working hours/day 6 : 5

∴ 30 x 6 x x = 39 x 5 x 12

x = (39 x 5 x 12)
(30 x 6)

x = 13.
