Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1/2 days Given: Time taken by 5 persons to complete 1/48th work = 1/2 days Formula used: (M1 × T1)/W1 = (M2 × T2)/W2 Calculation: [5 × (1/2)]/(1/48) = (6 × T2)/(1/40) ⇒ 5 × (1/2) × (1/40) = 6 × T2 × (1/48) ⇒ 1/16 = T2/8 ⇒ T2 = 1/2 days ∴ The work will be completed in 1/2 days |
