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?

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).

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.

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.
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.
