प्रश्न
Two persons could fit new windows in house in 3 days.
One of the persons fell ill before the work started. How long would the job take now?
उत्तर
Let the number of days required by 1 man to fit all the windows be x. The following table is obtained.
| Number of persons | 2 | 1 |
| Number of days | 3 | x |
Lesser the number of persons, more will be the number of days required to fit all the windows. Hence, this is a case of inverse proportion.
Therefore,
2 × 3 = 1 × x
x = 6
Hence, the number of days taken by 1 man to fit all the windows is 6.
