Less Men, means more Days {Indirect Proportion}

Let the number of days be x then,

27 : 36 :: 18 : x

[Please pay attention, we have written 27 : 36 rather than 36 : 27, in indirect proportion, if you get it then chain rule is clear to you :)]                                

=>27x = 36 * 18

=> x = 24

 So 24 days will be required to get work done by 27 men.

rate=r%

1200 (1+r/100)^2=1348.32

r=6%

One of AB, AD and CD must have given.

So, the data is inadequate.

x / y  = 0.04 / 1.5 = 4 / 150 = 2 / 75.

= > ( (y - x) / (y+x) ) = (1 - (x / y)) / ( 1 + ( x / y)) = (1 - 2/75) / (1 + 2/75) = 73/77...

125 over 1000 in Simplest Form means 1251000 in its simple fraction form.

Now, to get the simplest form of 125/1000, find the HCF or GCD of both numerator and denominator i.e, 125 and 1000.

HCF of 125, 1000 = 125

Then, divide both numerator and denominator by 125

i.e, 1251251000125 = 18

Hence, 18 is the simplest form of 125 over 1000.
