Running at the same constant rate, 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. At this rate, how many bottles could 10 such machines produce in 4 minutes?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the required number of bottles be x.
More machines, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
More minutes, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
| Machines | 6 | : | 10 |  |
:: 270 : x |
| Time (in minutes) | 1 | : | 4 |
6 x 1 x x = 10 x 4 x 270
 x = |
(10 x 4 x 270) |
| (6) |
x = 1800.

Hello @Sandy.
Your doubt was how do we evaluate propotions.
So, if more and less are there or less and more are there it is indirect.
And if more and more are there or les and less are there it is direct proportion.
Hope it will helps.

It can also be more machines, Less Minutes (Indirect Proportion).
And Less Machine more minutes (Indirect Proportion). Right? Correct me If I am wrong.

6 machines = 270 (1min).
10 machines = ? (4min).
10 machines x 4 min = 40 machines (1 min).
Now cross multiply,
40x270/6 = 1800.
10 machines = ? (4min).
10 machines x 4 min = 40 machines (1 min).
Now cross multiply,
40x270/6 = 1800.

6 Machine ----- 1min ----- 270 bottle,
1 Machine ----- 1min ----- 270/6 bottle,
1 Machine ----- 4min ----- (270/6) * 4,
10 Machine ----- 4min ----- (270/6) * 4 * 10.
So, 1800 is the answer.
1 Machine ----- 1min ----- 270/6 bottle,
1 Machine ----- 4min ----- (270/6) * 4,
10 Machine ----- 4min ----- (270/6) * 4 * 10.
So, 1800 is the answer.

6 Machine in 1 minute produce 270 units.
So, 1 machine in 1 minute produce 270/6 or 45 units.
So, 10 machines working 4 minutes produce = 45 x 10 x 4 or 1800 units.
So, 1 machine in 1 minute produce 270/6 or 45 units.
So, 10 machines working 4 minutes produce = 45 x 10 x 4 or 1800 units.

@Nishant.
(num of machine) * time = work.
First given, 6M * 1min = 270.
Then 1 machine =270/6= 45.
Second step given 10m * 4 = work -->1).
We know 1MACHINE=45 PUT IN EQ -->1.
10 * 45 * 4 = 450 * 4 = 1800.
It's simple hope you understand.

270/6 x 10 x 4 = 1800.
