Question

If 60 workers pack 500 kg of sugar in 6 days, then 200 kg of sugar can be packed by 30 workers in how many days?

• A. $\frac{12}{5}$
• B. 5
• C. $\frac{24}{5}$
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{24}{5}$

Here less workers, required more days, so it is indirect proportion. The multiplying factor is 60/30.

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

x=6×(60/30)×(200/500)=24/5

Therefore, 24/5 days have been required.
