Question
40 men can finish a piece of work in 26 days. How many men will be needed to finish it in 16 days?
Solution
Number of men required to complete the work in 26 days = 40
Number of men required to complete the work in 1 day = 40 × 26 = 1040 men (less men more days)
Number of men required to complete the work in 16 days = `1040/16` = 65
