20 workers can reap a field 30 days. ∴ Part of field reaped by 20 workers in 1 day = 1/30 ⇒ Part of field reaped by 1 worker in 1 day = ⇒ Part of field reaped by 20 workers in 10 days ∴ In the first 10 days 20 workers have reaped rd part of the field. At the end of 10 days 20 more workers have been employed. Therefore for the next span of 10 days the number of workers working are 20 + 20 = 40. ∴ in the next 10 days: part of filed reaped by 40 workers ⇒ part of field reapedafter 20 days = part reaped in first 10 days + part reaped in next 10 days ⇒ Part of field reaped after 20 days = (1/3) + (2/3) = 1 ∴ the entire field gets reaped by the end of 20 days.Related questions
