    A certain number of men can do a piece of work in 80 days. Had there been 10 more men it would have been finished in 10 days less. How many men were there?

    A)  60                               

    B)  70                   

    C)         38                   

    D)         50

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let initially there be x men. Then, \[(x+10)\] men can finish the work in\[(80-10)=70\] days. Now, by formula, \[{{M}_{1}}\times {{D}_{1}}={{M}_{2}}\times {{D}_{2}}\] \[80\times x=(x+10)\times 70\] or,\[80x=70x+700\] or,\[10x=700\] \[\therefore \]\[x=70\] men
