Hi,
Let 5 men can reap a field in x days
So, put the same quantities on the same side.
Men: Days
Now, Men and Days are inversely proportional to each other. If we increase the number of men fewer days will be required to complete the work.
Inversely proportional means = 15 = 1/28, 5=1/x
So, 5/15 = 28/x
i.e, 5: 15 = 28 : x
Or, x = (28*15) / 5
Or, x = 84 days
Hence, 5 men can reap a field in 84 days.
Hope this information is helpful
Thankyou.
