A labour gets Rs. 4800 for 16 days’ work. How many days should he work to get Rs.8400?

Correct option is B

Given:

A labour gets Rs. 4800 for 16 days of work.

Formula Used:

​$$\frac{\text{Payment for 16 days}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{\text{Payment for \( x \) days}}{\text{Number of days \( x \)}}$$​

Solution:

Let the number of days he should work to get Rs. 8400 be x.

​$$\frac{4800}{16} = \frac{8400}{x}$$​

​$$300 = \frac{8400}{x}$$​

x = $$\frac{8400}{300} = 28$$​

So, the labour should work 28 days to get Rs. 8400.

Thus, the correct option is (b) 28
