Shantanu completes \( \Large \frac{5}{8} \) of a Job in 20 days. At this rate, how many more days will he take to finish the job?
A) 6 days
B) 18 days
C) 5 days
D) 12 days
Correct answer:
D) 12 days
Description for Correct answer:
Let the required number of days be x.
Remaining work = \( \Large 1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8} \)
Less work, Less days (Direct proportion)
\( \Large \frac{5}{8}:\frac{3}{8}\ ::\ 20:x \)
=> \( \Large x = \frac{3}{8} \times 20 \times \frac{8}{5} \)
Therefore, x = 12 days
