Some ladies can do a piece of work in 12 days. Two times the number of such ladies will do half of that      work in :

      a) 6 days          b) 4 days         c)12 days         d) 3 days
























Expl : Let x ladies can do the work in 12 days. More ladies, less days (Indirect)

      Less work, less days (direct)

      Ladies 2x : x         Work             1 : ½  

      2x : x , 1 : ½ : : 12 : y

      :. 2x * 1*y = x* ½ *12  or y = 3

     Hence the required number of days = 3

 It takes 10 days for digging a trench of 100 m long, 50 m broad and 10 m deep.  What length of trench, 25 m broad and 15 m deep can be dug in 30 days ?       a) 400 m          b) 200 m          c) 100 m          d) 89m Expl : More days, more length (Direct)       Less breadth, more length (Indirect)       More depth, less length (Indirect       Days      10 : 30;       Breadth  25 : 50;                  : : 100 : x       Depth    15 : 10;                     :. 10 * 25* 15 * x = 30 *50 * 10 *100             x= (30*50*10*100)/10*25*15 = 400      So the required length = 400m
