We are given that 8 men can complete a job in 18 days
Let the number of men needed to complete the job in 13 of 18 = 6 days = xSince, number of days varies inversely with the number of men, then8 × 18 = x × 6⇒x = 8 × 186 = 24So, 24 men will be needed to complete the job in 6 days

8 men can complete a job in 18 days . If job is tobe completed in 1/3 of the original time, how many men can do it ?
