If 108 workers can build a wall in 36 days, then in how many days can 48 workers build the same wall?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 81.

Let the number of days required for 48 workers to build the wall be x .

According to the formula:

108 workers × 36 days = 48 workers × x days

⇒ 108 × 36 = 48 × x

⇒ x = (108 × 36) / 48

⇒ x = 3888 / 48

⇒ x = 81
