Question:

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?

Options:

28

34

42

14

Correct Answer:

34

Explanation:

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
