Question

A farmer need five men to clear his farm in 10 days how men will he need, if must finish clearing in 2 days if they work at the same rate

Answer 1

1 person

Explanation:

It is given that a farmer wants 5 persons to complete a work of clearing his field in ten number of days.

We have to find out the number of persons required if the farmer needs to clear his field in 2 number of days.

Therefore according to the information given :

10 days = 5 persons

∴ 1 day =
`$(5)/(10)$` persons

So 2 days =
`$(5)/(10)* 2$` persons

`$=(5)/(5)$` person

= 1 person
