This means,
Cats reduced from 100 to 4 so days increase.
Mice reduced from 100 to 4 so days decrease.
So actions get canceled out.
Thus, days remain 100.

If it takes 100 days for one hundred cats to kill 100 mice, then one cat is killing one mouse in that 100 days.
Rather, if 100 cats kill 100 mice, then each cat is only killing one mouse. If this takes 100 days, then that's how long it takes for one cat to kill one mouse.

100 cats can kill 100 mice in 100 days.
That is 1 cat kills 1 mice in 100 days.
Then if 4 cats have to kill 4 mice the time should not change.
That is a cat can kill a mice in 100 days.
4 cats can kill 4 mice in 100 days.
That is 1 cat kills 1 mice in 100 days.

4 cats can kill 4 mice in 100 days.

100 cats kill 100 mice in = 100 days.
1 cat kills 100 mice in = 100x100 days (since 1 cat has to do what 100 cats together did).
1 cat kills 1 mouse in = (100X100) / 100 = 100.
So 4 cats kill 4 mice in 100 days (each cat will kill 1 mouse in 100 days).
1 cat kills 100 mice in = 100x100 days (since 1 cat has to do what 100 cats together did).
1 cat kills 1 mouse in = (100X100) / 100 = 100.
So 4 cats kill 4 mice in 100 days (each cat will kill 1 mouse in 100 days).

Hi all, why it can't be like 1 cat is killing a mouse on the first day 2nd cat on the second day and so on?
