    A contractor employed 210 men to build a house in 60 days. After 12 days, he was joined by 70 more men. In how many days will the remaining work be finished?      

    A)  35                              

    B)  36                  

    C)         38                  

    D)         40                              

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In 60 days 210 men complete 1 work In 1 day they complete \[\left( \frac{1}{60} \right)\] work In 12 days they complete \[\frac{1}{60}\times 12=\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\] work Now, \[\frac{4}{5}\] work is left for \[(210+70)\] workers  = 280 workers Let the number of days be x. Then,  \[280\times X=\frac{4}{5}\times 210\times 60\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[x=\frac{4\times 210\times 12}{280}=36\] days
