Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e 6 hours per day.
| Understanding | Application |
|
M1 x T1 x D1 = M2 x T2 x D2 M = Number of men T = Per day working hours D = Days |
30 x 8 x 16 = 32 x T2 x 20 T2=(30 x 8 x 16)/(32 x 20) =(3 x 4)/(2) = 6 hours
