5 men take 21 minutes

So 1 man will take (5*21) = 105 minutes. ( Its obvious that 1 man will take more days so simply multiply to get days taken by 1 man)

Now, 7 men will take 105/7 = 15 minutes. ( Its again obvious that when we increase the number of people then the work will be done faster in less days and so we divided)

Answer is 15 minutes.

1 Person will complete the task in (5*21) = 105 minutes

Therefore, 7 people will take them 15 minute (105/7) to build the wall.
