Detailed Solution

Given,
Number of men required to dig 6 3 4 m= 27 4 m  long trench = 11.  Let the number of men required to dig 27 m long trench be x.
Then,

Number of men

11

x

Length (in m)

274

27

We can clearly observe that, more the number of men, more the length of trench will dig.
Therefore, this is the case of direct proportion.
As this is the case of direct proportion, therefore the ratio will remain constant throughout the table that is,
11÷ 27 4 = x 27 11× 4 27 = x 27 44 27 = x 27   Cross multiplying,
44×27=27×x   Solving for x, x= 44×27 27 x=44   Hence, the number of men required to dig 27 m long trench is 44.
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
