1)  

 If 15 men can built a wall 109 meters  long in 7 days, what length of a similar wall can be built by 20 men in 3 days.

Answer: 62 meters


SOLUTION 1 :

Soln  :

Number of MenNumber of daysLength of the wall in (m)
    15    7        109
    20     3       

Step :1

        Consider the No of men & Length of the wall. As the No of men increases from 15 to 20, the length of the wall also increases.

         It is in direct variation.

          The multiplying factor  = 2015

Step :2

       Consider the No of days & the length of the wall. As the No of days decreases from 7 to 3, length of the wall also decreases.

       It is in direct variation.

       The multiplying factor    =   37

                                       x     =   2015 x 37 x 109

                                              =  1.33333333333 x 0.428571428571 x 109

                                              = 62 meters
