Answer:

7 people will take 16 minutes to paint 4 walls.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if $x_1$ people take $n_1$ times for $w_1$ work and in the same kind of work $x_2$ people take $n_2$ time for $w_2$ work,

Then,

$\frac{x_1\times n_1}{w_1}=\frac{x_2\times n_2}{w_2}$

Here, $x_1=4$ , $n_1=63$ , $w_1=9$ ,

$x_2=7$ , $w_2=4$

By substituting the values in the above formula,

$\frac{4\times 63}{9}=\frac{7n_2}{4}$

By the cross multiplication,

$1008=63n_2$

$\implies n_2=\frac{1008}{63}=16$

Hence, 7 people will take 16 minutes to paint 4 walls.

The series is a convergent p-series with p = 3

<h3>How to know it is a divergent or a convergent series</h3>

We would know that a series is a convergent p series when we have ∑ 1 np. Then you have to be able to tell if the series is a divergent p series or it is a convergent p series.

The way that you are able to tell this is if the terms of the series do not approach towards 0. Now when the value of p is greater than 1 then you would be able to tell that the series is a convergent series.
