Solution : Let the required number of bottles be x.
More machines, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
More minutes, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
:: 270 : x
=> 6 * 1 * x = 10 * 4 * 270
=> x = (10 * 4 *270)/6
=> x = 1800

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 2) 51
Solution : Let the total number of men to be engaged be x.
More length, More labours (Direct Proportion)
Less days, More labours (Indirect Proportion)
More hours per day, Less labours (Indirect Proportion)
:: 17 : x
=> (26 * 6 * 9 * x) = (39 * 18 * 8 * 17)
=> x = (39 * 18 * 8 * 17)/(26 * 6 * 9)
=> x = 68
Number of more labours = (68 - 17) = 51
