Question

$4$ mat-weavers can weave $4$ mats in $4$ days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by $8$ mat-weavers in $8$ days?

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 12
• D. 16

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Let the required number of mats be $x$.

Clearly, if number of weavers are increase then number of mats also increase.

So, the given situation is in Direct Proportion.

Similarly, More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)
$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Weavers}& 4:8\\ \text{Days}& 4:8\end{array}\}::4:x$
$\therefore 4\times 4\times x=8\times 8\times 4$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{(8\times 8\times 4)}{(4\times 4)}$
$\Rightarrow x=16$

Hence, Option B is correct.
