1)  

 If 12 men can built a wall 120 meters  long in 9 days, what length of a similar wall can be built by 17 men in 4 days.

Answer: 76 meters


SOLUTION 1 :

Soln  :

Number of MenNumber of daysLength of the wall in (m)
    12    9        120
    17     4       

Step :1

        Consider the No of men & Length of the wall. As the No of men increases from 12 to 17, the length of the wall also increases.

         It is in direct variation.

          The multiplying factor  = 1712

Step :2

       Consider the No of days & the length of the wall. As the No of days decreases from 9 to 4, length of the wall also decreases.

       It is in direct variation.

       The multiplying factor    =   49

                                       x     =   1712 x 49 x 120

                                              =  1.41666666667 x 0.444444444444 x 120

                                              = 76 meters
