1 worker can in 9 mins load 1 box
1 worker can in 90 mins load (1*90/9)=10boxes
16 worker can in 90 mins load (10*16)=160 boxes
So no. of trucks needed=160/8=20 i think....

one man can load 8 boxes i.e, 1 truck in 72 min
(9*8) so using formula (m1*t1)/w1= (m2*t2)/w2
m1=1 t1=72 w1=8 m2=16 t2=90 (1&1/2 hrs) w2=?
on sub on formula we get 16 boxes i.e., 2 truck.....

madhavaram mahendra  (11 years ago)

one man can load 1 box in 9 minutes
hence he can fill 1 truck in 1.12 hrs
16 men can fill 16 trucks in 1.12 hrs
remaining times is 18 minutes
one can fill boxes in 18 min
16 men can fill 32 boxes
that is 4 boxes
so total 20 boxes

Number of minutes required to fill the truck completely by a Worker =9x8=72 mins
Since 16 people are working together 16 people can fill 16 trucks in 72 mins
now
he asked for 1 and 1/2 hour i.e 90 mins
90-72=18mins
in 18 mins 16 people can fill 32 boxes in 4 trucks (9min-->1 box so that 16 mins--->2 boxes by one person
so that 16 persons can fill 32 boxes in 18 mins so each truck 8 boxes for 32 boxes,32/8=4 trucks )

so total no of trucks =16+4=20
