Question

36 men can complete a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will 27 men complete the same work?

Options:
A .  12
B .  18
C .  22
D .  24
E .  None of these
Answer: Option D

Let the required number of days be x.


Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)


 So,  27 : 36 :: 18 : x    \( \Leftrightarrow\)    27 x x = 36 x 18


x =  \(\frac{36\times18}{27}\)


x= 24.
