of a job in 10 days. At this rate, how many more days will it takes him to finish the job?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Work done = | 5 |
| 8 |
| Balance work = |  |
1 - | 5 |  |
= | 3 |
| 8 | 8 |
Let the required number of days be x.
| Then, | 5 | : | 3 | = :: 10 : x |  |
5 | x x = | 3 | x 10 |
| 8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
 x = |
|
3 | x 10 x | 8 | |
| 8 | 5 |
x = 6.

5/8 job = 10 days.
1 job = 10*8/5 = 16.
Remaining days = 16-10 = 6.
1 job = 10*8/5 = 16.
