    Question

    10 men can dig a well 50 feet deep in 8 days. How many men can dig a well 100 feet deep in 10 days?

    A.

    16

    B.

    18

    C.

    14

    D.

    15

    Correct option is A

    Given: 

    10 men can dig a 50 feet deep well in 8 days.

    how many men are required to dig a 100 feet deep well in 10 days. 

    Concept Used: 

    M1D1W1=M2D2W2\frac{M_1D_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2D_2}{W_2}   

    Where, M = men , D = days, W = work 

    Solution:  

    From the condition;

    M1=10,W1=50,D1=8,M2=x,W2=100,D2=10M_1=10, W_1=50,D_1=8,M_2=x, W_2=100,D_2=10 

    So, applying the formula; 

    10×850=x×10100\frac{10\times8}{50}=\frac{x\times10}{100} 

    85\frac85 = x10\frac{x}{10} 

    x = 8×105\frac{8\times10}5 

    x = 8×\times2

    x = 16 

    Thus, men required are 16
