Six typists can type a given data in 16 days. How many days will 4 typists take to do the same work?

A22 days

B20 days

C24 days

D18 days

Answer:

C. 24 days

Read Explanation:

This is an inverse proportion problem. If you decrease the number of typists, it will take longer to complete the same amount of work.

Here's how to solve it:

  • Total work: 6 typists * 16 days = 96 "typist-days" (This represents the total amount of work to be done)

  • Days for 4 typists: 96 typist-days / 4 typists = 24 days

Therefore, 4 typists will take 24 days to complete the same work.
