WORK AND TIME MANAGEMENT 

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, mo re work). 

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

Rule Q 

If ratio of numbers of men required to complete a work is m : n, then the ratio of time taken by them will be n : m.

 Ex. 1 If 12 men can finish a work in 20 days, then find the number of days required to complete the same work by 15 men. 

Sol. We know that, if ratio of numbers of men required to complete a work is m : n, then ratio of time taken by them will be n: m. 

According to the question, Ratio of numbers of men = 12 : 15 = 4 : 5 Ratio of times taken =5:4 Let us suppose 15 men can finish a work in x days. Then, 20 : x = 5 : 4 x = 16 

# Required number of days =16
