Given:

10 boys clear a piece of land in 21 days.

To find:

The number of days it will take 7 boys to clear the same land at the same rate.

Solution:

We have,

10 boys clear a piece of land in 21 days.

Total work =
10* 21

=
210

Let 7 boys clear the same piece of land in x days.

Total work =
7* x

=
7x

Now, the total work is same.


7x=210

Divide both sides by 7.


x=(210)/(7)


x=30

Therefore, 7 boys clear the same piece of land in 30 days.
