Chain Rule Q59


59. 10 men, working 6 hours a day can complete a work in 18 days. How many hours a day must 15 men work to complete the same work in 12 days?
[A]6
[C] 12
[B]10
[D] 15
Answer : A
Explanation :

Let the required number of hours per day be x.

More men, Less hours per day (Indirect Proportion)

Less days, more hours per day (Indirect Proportion)

Men
15 : 10
Days
12 : 18

 :: 6 : x





15 x 12 x x = 10 x 18 x 6




x =
10 x 18 x 6
15 x 12





x = 6
