The correct option is A 20 days
The number of men (M) required to complete a work is directly proportional to the amount of work (W).
M∝ W...(1)
The number of men (M) required to complete a work is inversely proportional to the number of days required to do the work (D).
M∝1D...(2)
Combining (1) and (2), we get,
M∝WD
Let k be the constant of variation.
So, M=kWD
⇒MDW=K(constant)
Let the number of days required to complete the same work by 5 men be x days.
Hence, (10)(10)W =(5)(x)W
So, x = 20 days.
