plzz help me in this question...... 

10 men working for 5 hours a day for 6 days mow an area of 5 acres..If there are 8 men working 4 hours a day to mow 4 acres of land, how many days will it take???

Hi Ritika!
Here is the answer to your question.
 
The given information can be represented in a tabular manner as
 
Here, c2 is the number of days required by 8 men to farm the land of area 4 acres working 4 hours a day.
If number of men increase, then the number of days taken by the men decrease. Thus, the variables c and a are in inverse proportion
 
 
Thus seven and half days are required to finish the work
 
Hope! This will help you.
Cheers!
