Hey Folks,
How do you solve Work question which has 3 figures

Like 5 people bolt 3 screws in 10 hours so how much time would it take 2 people to bolt 1 screw ...
Just an example..
Thanks,
Anand
you have to solve it logically
if it takes 5 people to bolt 3 screws in 10 hours

it will take 1 people to bolt 3 screws in 10*5 = 50 hours

it will take 1 person to bolt 1 screw in 10*5/3

so it will take 2 people to bolt 1 screw in 10 *5*2/3 = 33.33 hours


little mistake: it will take 2 people to bolt 1 screw in 10 *5/(3*2)
2 people will finish the job in less time than 1 man.
