First, we need to find out the productivity (how much work they can do at a time) of 4 boys which is: T i m e 1 = 1 0 1
Now we need to find productivity of 1 boy which is: 1 0 1 X 4 1 = 4 0 1
Productivity of 3 boys: 4 0 1 X 3 = 4 0 3
Work done by 4 boys in 3 days: 1 0 1 X 3 = 1 0 3
Remaining work: 1 - 1 0 3 = 1 0 7
Remaining time to complete rest of the work: 1 0 7 X 3 4 0 = 3 2 8
