The 2 men working for 2 hours per 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work. This is calculated by using the proportions formula.
What is the formula for calculating equal proportions?
The formula for the given proportions is,
a: b = c: d
⇒ a/b = c/d
⇒ ad = bc
In this way, the required variable is calculated.
Calculation:
For the given question, the proportion we can write
M1 × H1 × D1: M2 × H2 × D2 = W1: W2
⇒ M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1
Where M1 = 4; H1 = 4; D1 = 4; M2 = 2; H2 = 2; D2 = 2 and W1 = 4
We need to calculate W2 - required units of work
So, on substituting,
M1 × H1 × D1 × W2 = M2 × H2 × D2 × W1
⇒ 4 × 4 × 4 × W2 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 4
⇒ 64 × W2 = 32
⇒ W2 = 32/64
∴ W2 = 1/2
Thus, the required units of work are 1/2.
So, 2 men working for 2 hours for 2 days will complete 1/2 unit of work.
