Question : If 18 mechanics can repair 90 cars in 10 days, how many mechanics will be required to repair 150 cars in 12 days?
Option 1: 25
Option 2: 30
Option 3: 20
Option 4: 27
Correct Answer: 25
Solution : Given: 18 mechanics can repair 90 cars in 10 days. We know, $\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{W_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{W_{2}}$, Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $W_1$ and $W_2$ are work done. ⇒ $\frac{18×10}{90}=\frac{M_2×12}{150}$ $\therefore M_2=25$ Hence, the correct answer is 25.
