  • question_answer
    A contractor was engaged to construct a road in 16 days. After working for 12 days with 20 labours it was found that only 5/8th of the road had been constructed. To complete the work in stipulated time the number of extra labours required is:

    A)  12                              

    B)  10                  

    C)         18                   

    D)         16                              

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Days No. of Labourers Work done
    12 20 \[{5}/{8}\;\]
    4 ? \[1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}\]
    \[{{M}_{1}}{{D}_{1}}.{{W}_{2}}={{M}_{2}}{{D}_{2}}{{W}_{1}}\] \[20\times 12\times \frac{3}{8}={{M}_{2}}\times 4\times \frac{5}{8}\Rightarrow {{M}_{2}}=\frac{20\times 12\times 3\times 8}{4\times 5\times 8}=36\]    Hence, \[36-20=16\]more men needed to complete the remaining work in 4 days.
