Eight people can complete a piece of work in 14 days. How many additional people will be required to complete triple of the work in 8 days?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Total Work Done = Number of Days × Efficiency.
Total work = 8 × 14 = 112
To do the triple work in 8 days the total men required = 3 × 112/8 = 42
Extra men = 42 – 8 = 34
