If 20 men can build a wall 56 meters long in 6 days , what length of a similar wall can be built by 35 men in 3 days?

Correct Answer: 49

Explanation:

Let the required length be x meters


 More men, More length built     (Direct proportion) 


Less days, Less length built      (Direct Proportion)


M e n 20 : 35 D a y s 6   :   3   56   : x  


=> (20 x 6 x X)=(35 x 3 x 56) 


=> x = 49 


Hence, the required length is 49 m.
