Download Solution PDFGiven:
40 men can complete work in 15 days
Number of days 40 men worked = 3 days
20 new men are joined
Concept used:
Work = time × efficiency
Calculation:
Let the efficiency of each man be 'm'.
Total work = 40 × m × 15
⇒ 600m
Work done in 3 days = 40 × 3 × m
⇒ 120m
Remaining work = 600m - 120m = 480m
Let the number of days needed to complete the remaining work be N
So, 60 × N × m = 480m
⇒ N = 8
So, total time = 3 + 8
⇒ 11 days
∴ The total work will be completed in 11 days.
