Correct Answer: 4


Solution : We know that, (N x T) ÷ W = Constant, where N = number of people doing the work, W = amount of work done, and T = time taken to finish the work.

It is given that 4 cats can kill 4 rats in 4 minutes and we need to find the time taken for 8 cats to kill 8 rats.

⇒ (4 x 4) ÷ 4 = (8 x T) ÷ 8

⇒ T = 4

So, 8 cats can kill 8 rats in 4 minutes.

Hence, option second is correct.
