8 men working together, can complete a job in 5 days. In how many days can 5 men (working together) complete the same job?
I have a question. If eight men working together can complete a job in five days, how many days will it take for five men to complete the same job working together?
Let me do the calculations for you. If eight men can complete the job in five days, then the total work done is 8 men x 5 days = 40 man-days. Now, if five men have to complete the same job, then the number of days required will be 40 man-days / 5 men = 8 days. So, it will take 5 men 8 days to complete the job.
