If 7 spiders make 7 webs in 7 days, then 1 spider will make 1 web in how many days?
1
7
2
7
49
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number days be x.

Less spiders, More days (Indirect Proportion)

Less webs, Less days (Direct Proportion)

Spiders 1 : 7 :: 7 : x
Webs 7 : 1

1 x 7 x x = 7 x 1 x 7

x = 7.

When ever you found these kind of problems, come from the back.

Means if 7spiders 7weds in 7days so,

1 spider work ==(7*7)/7=7;

one person work==days*work done/ number of workers;

I didn't understood how the ratio will be considered. As follows
1*7*x=7*1*7

So please give the brief description.
