WORK AND TIME MANAGEMENT 1

Important information:- In this chapter, we will study techniques to solve problems based on work and its completion time as well as number of persons required to finish the given work in stipulated time. Suppose that you are a contractor and you got a contract to construct a flyover in a certain time. For this, you need to calculate the number of men required to finish the work according to their work efficiency. 

Important Relations:- 

1. Work and Person Directly proportional (more work, more men and conversely more men, more work).

 2. Time and Person Inversely proportional (more men, less time and conversely more time, less men). 3. Work and Time Directly proportional (more work, more time and conversely more time, more work). 

## Note While solving these types of problems, the work done is always supposed to be equal to 1

Table of Contain:-
