Question
If 7 spiders make 7 webs in 7 days, then 1 spider will make 1 web in how many days?
Answer: Option C
Let the required number days be x.
Less spiders, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Less webs, Less days (Direct Proportion)
\[\left. \begin{gathered}
{\text{Spiders}}\,\,\,\,\,1:7 \hfill \\
\,\,\,{\text{Webs}}\,\,\,\,\,7:1 \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \right\}::7:x\]
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore 1 \times 7 \times x = 7 \times 1 \times 7 \cr
& \Rightarrow x = 7 \cr} $$
