Question

A mason constructs a building in 90 days. How much time will the mason take to construct five such buildings? (Consider non leap year)

• A. 1 year, 8 weeks, and 3 days
• B. 1 year, 11 weeks, and 1 day
• C. 1 year, 12 weeks, and 5 days
• D. 1 year, 12 weeks, and 1 day

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1 year, 12 weeks, and 1 day

Time required to construct one building = 90 days
Time required to construct five buildings = 90 $\times$ 5 = 450 days

We know that
1 year = 365 days (non leap year)
So, 450 days = 1 year and 85 days

We know that
1 week = 7 days
So, 85 days = 12 weeks and 1 day
Hence, 450 days = 1 year, 12 week, and 1 day
Time required to construct five buildings = 1 year, 12 week, and 1 day
