Here if you invest 64 Rs then you'll get 16 2/3%.
16 2/3% = 50/3 = 16.6Rs.
Which means you'll earn 16.6Rs.
In the question, one earns 1500 Rs then how much we invested?
64 ---- 16.6 or 50/3.
? ----- 1500.
= (1500*64)/(50/3).
= 1500*64*3/50.
= 5760.
16 2/3% = 50/3 = 16.6Rs.
Which means you'll earn 16.6Rs.

To earn 50/3 v invest 64.
So to earn 1500 v invest ?
Just do cross multiply i.e.,
V invest 64*1500*3/50 = Rs. 5760.

See,
50/3 he is earning when he is investing Rs. 64.
So for earning of Rs.1 he has to invest Rs. 64/(50/3).
So for earning of Rs.1500 he has to invest Rs. 64/(50/3)*1500.
=64*(3/50)*1500
=64*3*1500/50
=Rs. 5760.

2 days.....1 work
1 day.......X work...
i.e 2*X = 1*1
i.e X =(1*1)/2
i.e X = 1/2 work.........this is the answer...

@pawan, @manikandan
1 x 50/3 = 64
Then
1 = 64 x 3/50
1 x 50/3 = 64
Then
1 = 64 x 3/50

@Ankit please clear your basic and dont misguide others
100 people complete the task =300days

Do these statements make sense.

Suppose
1oo people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100
same as
50/3--- 64
1-------(64/(50/3))
1oo people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100
same as
50/3--- 64
1-------(64/(50/3))
