The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how many days 'd' men will take to complete \(\frac{1}{m}\)th of the work that 'b' men can complete in 'c' days. Let's break this down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Work Rate of 'b' Men:** - If 'b' men can complete the entire work in 'c' days, then the total work can be expressed in man-days as: \[ \text{Total Work} = b \times c \text{ man-days} \] 2. **Calculate the Work Done by 'd' Men:** - The work done by 'd' men in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by } d \text{ men in one day} = d \text{ man-days} \] 3. **Determine the Work to be Done:** - We are interested in \(\frac{1}{m}\)th of the total work. Therefore, the work to be done is: \[ \text{Work to be done} = \frac{1}{m} \times (b \times c) = \frac{bc}{m} \text{ man-days} \] 4. **Calculate the Number of Days Taken by 'd' Men:** - To find the number of days 'd' men take to complete \(\frac{bc}{m}\) man-days of work, we use the formula: \[ \text{Number of Days} = \frac{\text{Total Work}}{\text{Work done per day}} = \frac{\frac{bc}{m}}{d} \] 5. **Simplify the Expression:** - This simplifies to: \[ \text{Number of Days} = \frac{bc}{md} \] ### Final Answer: The number of days taken by 'd' men to do \(\frac{1}{m}\)th of the same piece of work is: \[ \frac{bc}{md} \]
