Best answer

Let the required number of days if 14 farmers ploughed = x

Number of days 21 x
Number of farmers 10 14

As number of farmers increases, number of days decreases. 

∴ They are in inverse proportion

Initially the farmers worked for 21 days. Now they worked for 15 days. 

∴ The number of days reduced = 21 – 15 = 6 days
