Question

A mobile manufacturing company: 6 staff members packed 6 mobiles in 6 minutes. The management wants 60 mobiles packed in 60 minutes. How many staff members are required in total?

• A. 60
• B. 10
• C. 6
• D. None of these

Hint:

Convert to a “mobiles per minute” team rate first; then scale to the target. Many such problems reduce to identical rates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Rate from the given data:
6 staff \(\Rightarrow\) 6 mobiles in 6 minutes \(\Rightarrow\) \(\tfrac{6}{6}=1\) mobile per minute (team rate).
Target:
60 mobiles in 60 minutes \(\Rightarrow\) also \(1\) mobile per minute needed.
Since the current 6-person team already achieves \(1\) mobile/min, the same 6 staff suffice.
\[ \boxed{6} \]
