An engineer and a lawyer attended an interview separately. The Engineer was asked: If ten men cleared one hecter of land in ten hours how many hours would five men require to clear the same piece of land?
The engineer answered: If ten men cleared one hecter for ten hours ,then one man would re quire 10 X 10 hours. Therefore five men would require 10x10 divided by 5 i.e 20hours.
The lawyer was asked the same question and he answered: If ten men cleared the one hecter of land for ten hours , then there would be nothing left to clear. Therefore five men would require zero hour.
