Here, work is completed by each in 27 days So, let the total work is = 27, Therefore, the efficiency of each person = 1 w/d Now, ATQ 1st day work ( by 1 person) = 1 2nd day work ( by 2 person) = 2 3rd day work ( by 3 person) = 3 4th day work ( by 4 person) = 4 5th day work ( by 5 person) = 5 6th day work ( by 6 person) = 6 Total work done in 6 days = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21 Remaining work = 27 - 21 = 6 7th day work ( by 6 person) = 6 Therefore, the work will be completed in total 7 days. |
