On the absence of 10 cows the days the cows grazing the pasture increases by 20 days.Hence it must take 80 DAYS to graze for 20 cows.

Inverse relationship exists between cows and graze
take a relation like y (m/x)+c;
where y cows x graze
solve for m c
then substitute given cows in y and find out x
which comes to be 120
