30/12=2.5 25/10=2.5 Since there are 2.5 times more people working , the time should be 15/2.5=6

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Exactly 👍

[@ammineniramanayya8263]

U r answer is more clear than the vedio maker

[@B.I.L.L.Y.B.U.T.C.H.E.R]

​@@GuinnessAndMathGuy sir answer should be D. It depends on the work. It takes 6-8 months to construct a house. You can't reduce no of days by increasing labourers.

[@kidangbali-os2943]

Why we should use divide not subtract? I'm so confuse

[@crazymind503]

since work is same so man × days=man × days (12M+10W)15=(30M+25W) y days 2(6M+5W)15=5(6M+5W)×(y)days 30=5y days y=30/5=6 days.

[@rachitmurti801]

I like it , sounds logically true👌

[@a.bgamer6938]

To do this is quite simple As the people are inversely proportionate to days therefore, Person = constant × 1/d i.e Person × days = constant i.e from 1 we can say that, Men+ women × 15 = constant (12+10) × 15= constant 22×15=constant 330= constant Therefore in 2nd equation, (Men + women)×days=constant (30+25)×days= 330 55×days=330 Days=330/55 i.e. Days=6

[@a.bgamer6938]

I know this took way more steps but i guess it will help

[@sikha3311]

You can cancel 22/ 55 and will get the answer in 1 step

I just looked at the total of the people. 22 into 55 goes 2.5 times. 15/2.5 = 6

[@hlicj]

The job is already completed, but if the job is just to sit around for 15 days, it will take 15 days no matter how many they are.

The question starts with "if"..... If u know what i mean

[@tom_something]

So sneaky! I paused the video at the beginning and tried to figure it out. I realized that if we go to extremes (either men do all the work and women do no work, or women do all the work and men do no work), no conclusion could be drawn about the relative work output of men compared to women. So "obviously" it was D. Then I resumed the video. The second you implied most people go for D, as I had, I looked back up at the specific numbers and realized my mistake. It's a very clever question. The sunglasses should have told me something.

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Thanks for the comprehensive comment, appreciate that. 😊

[@parameswaraofficial182]

30/12=5/2. And 25/10=5/2. 5/2+5/2=10/2 =15.... 15×2/10=3 days

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Nope 😌

[@abhisekkumar6609]

six is a correct answer

[@SuperNovaJinckUFO]

The answer implies the assumption that the task can be divided among an arbitrary amount of people, and the work time is has a linear relationship to the amount of people. (As a counter example, imagine the job they are doing is working 15 days as security guards. In that case it doesn't matter how many people are there, it will always take 15 days) Since those necessary pieces of information aren't given, D is the correct answer.

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Nope 😌

[@rabih1572]

D is the most logical answer. We could give many exemple why D is more logic.

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

[@AnthonyDoesYouTube]

How can I know this if I don't know that the numbers are multiplied by 2.5 ?

[@humairarahimsamapti1408]

30÷12=2.5 25÷10=2.5 Whatever the men or women number is you have to divide them by previous number. This is how you know. Then you have to divide the time by the quotient. Here, 2.5 times more people are working so the time should be 15÷2.5=6.

[@muhammadjonov_asadbek]

That's what sat test testing your reasoning for.😅

[@Nimmu768]

We can solve it by inverse proportion too 22 x 15 = X x 15 Answer 6days

[@nayanikachoudhury3937]

Simply equating u can get it.... 22 x 15= 55 x no. Of days ..... Cancel it out u will get 6..

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Exactly 👍

[@harveyspector5359]

Or you could do it by calculating the efficiency method. 12 men and 10 women can do a piece of work in 15 days. So their efficiency is 10:12 that is one man completes 10 works a day and one woman completes 12 works. So total work for a day is 12x10+10x12= 240 Total work for 15 days = 240x15=3600. Since Total work and efficiencies are same 30 men do 300 works a day and 25 women also 300. So TW for a say is 600. So total no of days for completing the work = 3600/600=6

[@GuinnessAndMathGuy]

Exactly 👍

[@BibhuBehera-pc9fd]

3 is the right answer

[@shankhadeepghosh6086]

Hah mera v 3 ans huya

[@ELWINENGLENG-gm2uz]

Solving So fast ❤

[@DominickWalenczak]

Not all work is strictly linear in terms of scaling. For instance, if it takes 1 person 1 minute to change a lightbulb, how long will it take 10 people? 100 people? 10,000 people? It also says nothing about the tools involved. If these 12 men have a job of moving wheelbarrows and dumping them into a pit, if the number of tools (wheelbarrows) does not increase, the amount of work performed does not scale. Lastly, there's the overhead of coordination. If your software design project is running late, how much faster would it get done if you double or triple the staff? In software engineering, adding people is often a sure way of adding delays.

How to get 2.5?

[@gypsysoul8682]

solve this, if 16 men and 28 women can complete a job in 40 days,how many days will it take for 24 men and 14 women to complete the same job???

[@dodshivamyt4307]

13.33 Days

[@doctorno12344]

If we use indirect variation then, K/(16+28) = 40 days K = 40 × (16+28) K = 1760, where k is a constant So, 1760/(24+14) = 46 days, 7 hours and 34 minutes to be exact. If you use the other method, (16+28) ×40 = (24+14)×x 1760 = 38x 1760/38 =x = 46 days, 7 hours and 34 minutes to be exact. 😅😅😅

[@fred8780]

need to go fast. more people means fewer days 15 days to 5 days is divided by 3 12 times 3 = 36 men...too many men so more than 5 days are needed. so "c" is a very quick guess.

[@হিয়াকাকফ]

My assignment it's a word problem

[@juliusjanardhanseptimus352]

Extrapolation will give you the answer. The word woman and man is irrelevant. This is a SAT type of question which combines basic math with logic. The number of persons increases to more than double. If it were exactly double, then it would be 7.5. Go to the nearest approximation, which is 6.

[@yogesh41048]

(12Man + 10 women) multiple and divide this by 2.5 in numerator you will get (30Man +25Woman) and this numerator will be cancelled with other side ....as now both have become equals.....Thereafter you will have 15 by 2.5

[@Romaldochristopher5572]

simple way first in 12 mens and 10 women's complete their job in just 15 days then how much days the same job has done by 30 mens and 25 women's so then now divide 30/12 = 2.5 for mens and 25/10=2.5 for womens now we have to calculate days so 15/2.5 = 6 days .
