  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 46
  • B. 47
  • C. 48
  • D. 49

  • 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.
