Question:

X men can finish a piece of work in 30 days. If there were 6 men more, the work could be finished in 10 days less. The original number of men is:

Options:

6

10

12

15

Correct Answer:

12

Explanation:

(Total work = No. of men × no. of days)

ATQ,

X × 30 =  (X+6) × 20

X × 30 =  (X × 20) + (6 × 20)

30X - 20X = 120

10X = 120

X = 12
