  1. 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 :
    1. 10 hours
    2. 9 hours
    3. 12 hours
    4. 8 hours
Correct Option: A

Using Rule 1,
More persons, less working hours/day
Less days, more working hours/day

Persons   7 : 5
: : 7 : x
Days   4 : 8

where, x is hours/days
∴ 7 × 4 × x = 5 × 8 × 7
∴ x =
5 × 8 × 7
= 10 hours
7 × 4
