उत्तर
Let the required number of machines be x
| Number of machines | 36 | x |
| Number of days | 54 | 81 |
As the number of machines increases number of days required decreases.
∴ They are in inverse proportion,
x1y1 = x2 y2
36 × 54 = x × 81
x = `(36 xx 54)/81`
x = 24
∴ 24 machines would be required
