36 men can complete a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will 27 men complete the same work?
12
18
22
24
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number of days be x.

Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)

27 : 36 :: 18 : x       27 x x = 36 x 18

x = 36 x 18
27

x = 24.
