Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Four engineers can complete a task in 5 hours i.e.
4 engineer = 5h
1 engineer = (5/4) h
Assuming the rate of work remains constant,
6 engineer = [tex]\dfrac{5}{4}\times 6[/tex]
= 7.5 hours
or
= 7 hours 30 minutes
Hence, six engineers will complete the task in 7 h 30 min.
