    Hmm.Thats right. Will show a shortcut.

    For any two fixed quantities, where product is constant:-

    A X B = Constant

    An increase in 1/x in A needs a corresponding decrease in 1/(x+1) in B to keep the product constant.

    Here 20% increase ↑ = 1/5 ↑ => x=5
    hence decrease should be 1/(x+1) = 1/6 = 16.67%

    :-)
    Applies to all questions like

    Price*consumption = contant
    Speed*Distance = constant
    efficiency*no.of days = constant
    etc.

    So next time, if you have a question like= man increases his efficiency by 33%, how many days less would he take to complete the work, given that now he completes the work in 10 days.

    See if you got that!

    1) 5 days
    2)2.5 days
    3)2 days
    4)7.5 days

    used ur method..33% rise = 1/3, hence fall should be 1/4= 25%. he will now take 25% less days = 2.5 days. he will now do the work in 7.5 days..
