T takes 10 road workers 5 days to complete a road repair when working 2 hours a day. Working at the same pace, how many days will it take 2 people working 5 hours a day to finish it?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The no. of days required to finish the work = 10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

In first case :-

No. of workers [tex]M_{1}[/tex] = 10

No. of days [tex]D_{1}[/tex] = 5

No. of hours taken [tex]H_{1}[/tex] = 2 hours

In second case :-

No. of workers [tex]M_{2}[/tex] = 2

No. of days [tex]D_{2}[/tex] = ??

No. of hours taken [tex]H_{2}[/tex] = 5 hours

We know that

[tex]M_{1}[/tex] [tex]D_{1}[/tex] [tex]H_{1}[/tex] = [tex]M_{2}[/tex] [tex]D_{2}[/tex] [tex]H_{2}[/tex]

⇒ Put all the values in above formula we get

⇒ 10 × 5 × 2 = 2 × [tex]D_{2}[/tex] × 5

[tex]D_{2}[/tex] = 10 days

Thus the no. of days required to finish the work = 10 days
