Practicing Success
A certain number of men can finish a piece of work in 100 days. If there were 10 less men, it would take 10 days more for the work to be finished. How many men were there initially? |
75 82 100 110 |
110 |
Assume initially there were "x" number menn for completing a work X men completed the work in 100 days x men one day work = 1/100 1 men one day work = 1/100x if there were 10 men less, i.e. x-10 (x-10) men one day work = (x-10)/100x Total number of days taken by (x-10) men = 100x/(x-10) GIven that 10 less men would have taken 10 more days Total number of days taken by (x-10) men= 110 = 100x/(x-10) 110x - 1100 = 100x 10x = 1100 x = 110 days The correct answer is Option (4) → 110 |
