b.2
c.3
d.5
Read Solution (Total 10)
-
- use formula m1*d1 = m2*d2
3*4=4*x
x=3
so ans is 3 days - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(2)
- c. 3
3 people requires 4 days.
As the people are increased to 4, i.e. 3*(4/3)=4, so work will be reduced to (3/4)*4=3 days - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- m1 * d1 = m2 * d2
3 *4 = 4 * x
where x = no. of days taken by 4 men to paint
therefore , x=3 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- as the people increased to 4 then 4*(3/4)=3 so 3 days
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3 bcz 3/4*4
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- XY=X1Y1=>3*4=4x
x=3
so, 3days - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- if one people can work one work per day
3 people work 4days=12 units;
4 people work 3 days=12 units
so ans is option c.3
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- total man work days =3x4=12 man-days
is there are 4 people
then workdays will remain same=12
so no of days to complete task=total man-days/no of people=12/4=3 days - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- answer is c.) 3
solution is:-
by chain rule:-
3 people 4 days, 4 people x days
4 people: 3 people:: 4 days: xdays
4/3=4/x
gives x=3 days answer
second way is:-
direct multiplication of values,
3 *4/4=3 answer - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Answer is 3
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
