Chain Rule Q66


66. 4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?
[A] 4
[C] 12
[B] 8
[D] 16
Answer : D
Explanation :

Let the required number of mats be x.

More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)

More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)

Weavers
4 : 8
Days
4 : 8

 :: 4 : x





4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4


x =
(8 x 8 x 4)
(4 x 4)





x = 16
