42 labourers of a farm at Nasibpur village can cultivate the entire land of the farm in 24 days. But suddenly 6 labourers became ill during the period of cultivation. Let’s work out using the Rule of three method how many days it will take to cultivate the entire land of the farm by the rest of the labourers.
theorem1:- The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,
(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-
if a
b
c
then ![]()
(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-
if a
b
c
then ![]()
method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method
formula:- (i)direct method----![]()
(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k
(iii)work done=people x day
given:-
work done=people x day
42x24=1008
again work
work formula=(42-6)xday
1008=36xday
day=28
