उत्तर
Let x be the number of new members in the group.
| Number of members | 3 | x |
| Number of days | 30 | 18 |
\[\text{ Since more members can finish the wheat in less number of days, it is a case of inverse variation . } \]
\[\text{ Therefore, we get: } \]
\[3 \times 30 = x \times 18\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 = 18x\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{90}{18}\]
\[\text{ Thus, the number of new members in the group } = 5 - 3 = 2\]
