MenDays
1012
12x

where, x is working hrs/days

Where = number of days

12 : 10 :: 12 : x

12 × x = 10 × 12

$x = {10 × 12}/12 = 10$ days

Using Rule 1,

Here,$M_1 = 10, D_1 = 12, M_2 = 12, D_2$ = ?

$M_1D_1 = M_2D_2$

10 × 12 = 12 × $D_2$

$D_2$ = 10 days

a) 48 days

b) 23 days

c) 16 days

d) 32 days

Answer: (c)

Using Rule 1,

$M_1D_1 = M_2D_2$

18 × 24 = 27 × $D_2$

$D_2 = {18 × 24}/27$ = 16 days

∴ ${Persons - {7 : 5}}/{Days - {4 : 8}}]$ : : 7 : x

where, x is hours/days

7 × 4 × x = 5 × 8 × 7

$x = {5 × 8 × 7}/{7 × 4} = 10$ hours

$T_2 = {80 × 16 × 6}/{64 × 15} = 8$ hours
