If 10 men complete work in 5 days, how many men in 2 days?
Correct answer: C. 30
- A. 25
- B. 20
- C. 30
- D. 15
Explanation
The correct answer is 30 men. To solve this, calculate the total man-days required: 10 men × 5 days = 50 man-days. To complete the same amount of work in 2 days, you would need 50 ÷ 2 = 25 men. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A (25 men) and Option B (20 men) are incorrect because they wouldn't complete the work in 2 days, requiring more manpower. Option D (15 men) is also incorrect, as this would take significantly longer than 2 days.

About Logical Problems
Logical problems present several conditions about people, objects, events or choices and require their possible arrangements to be tested. They cover constraint-based reasoning, rankings, matching, grouping, scheduling and elimination, with attention to the difference between a complete solution and a possibility that merely satisfies one condition.
