A contractor estimates that 3 persons could rewire Jasminder's house in 4 days. If he uses 4 persons instead of three, how long should they take to complete the job?
Solution:
According to the estimation in rewiring Jasminder's house Number of persons required = 3 Number of days required = 4 So, to rewire a house by 1 person it will take 4 × 3 = 12 days And to do the job by 4 persons, days required = 12 / 4 = 3 days
