5 persons can prepare an admission list in 8 days working 7 hours a day. If 2 persons join them so as to complete the work in 4 days, they need to work per day for ?

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the number of working hours per day be x
More persons, Less working hours ( Indirect proportion)
Less days, More working hours (Indirect proportion)
\[\left. \begin{gathered} {\text{Persons 7}}:5 \hfill \\ {\text{Quantity 4}}:8 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right\}::7:x\]
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\text{ }}7 \times 4 \times x = 5 \times 8 \times 7 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{\left( {5 \times 8 \times 7} \right)}}{{\left( {7 \times 4} \right)}} \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = 10 \cr} $$
