The information about number of workers and number of days to complete a work is given in the following table. Complete the table.Number of workers3020...10...Days6912...36

Answer»

Let, n represent the number of workers and d represent the number of days required to complete a work. 

Since, number of workers and number of days to complete a work are in inverse poportion.

∴ n ∝ (1/d)

∴ n = k x (1/d)

where k is the constant of variation. 

∴ n × d = k …(i)

i. When n = 30, d = 6 

∴ Substituting n = 30 and d = 6 in (i), we get 

n × d = k 

∴ 30 × 6 = k 

∴ k = 180 

Substituting k = 180 in (i), we get 

∴ n × d = k 

∴ n × d = 180 …(ii) 

This is the equation of variation 

ii. When d = 12, n = 7 

∴ Substituting d = 12 in (ii), we get

n × d = 180 

∴ n × 12 = 180

∴ n = 180/12

∴ n = 15  

iii. When n = 10, d = ? 

∴ Substituting n = 10 in (ii), we get n × d = 180 

10 × d = 180

∴ d = 180/10

∴ d = 18 

iv. When d = 36, n = ? 

∴ Substituting d = 36 in (ii), we get n × d = 180 

∴ n × 36 = 180 

∴ n = 180/36

∴ n = 5
