Solution

Here less workers, required more days, so it is indirect proportion. The multiplying factor is 100/50.

Less work done required less days to pack the flour, so it is in direct proportion. The multiplying factor is 200/500.

x=6×(100/50)×(200/500)=24/5

Therefore, 24/5 days have been required.
