Question

24 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days. 2 days after the 24 men started working, 4 men left the work. How many more days will the remaining men now take to complete the remaining work?

• A. $15\frac{3}{5}$
• B. $16\frac{4}{5}$
• C. $11\frac{2}{5}$
• D. $10\frac{4}{5}$
• E. $14\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $15\frac{3}{5}$

$\frac{work}{men\times days}=\frac{Remainingwork}{men\times days}\frac{W}{24\times 13}=\frac{W}{20\times D}20\times D=24\times 13D=\frac{24\times 13}{20}=\frac{78}{5}=15\frac{3}{5}days$
