Question

Deepak can paint $\frac{3}{5}$ of a house in one day. If he continues working at this rate, how many days will he take to paint the whole house?

• A. $\frac{5}{3}$
• B. $\frac{5}{2}$
• C. 5
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{5}{3}$

Given, $\frac{3}{5}$ of work has been done by deepak in 1 day.

So, $\frac{1}{5}$ of work will be done in $\frac{1}{3}$ day.

$\therefore$ $\frac{5}{5}$ of work i.e., 1 complete work will be done in $5\times \frac{1}{3}$ days. i.e., $\frac{5}{3}$ days.
