    A contractor undertakes to complete a road in 40 days and deploys 25 men at work. After 24 days he realises that only \[\frac{1}{3}\]of the road was completed. How many additional men will be deployed so that the road can be completed 4 days before the scheduled time?

    A) 100                              

    B) 60

    C) 75                                

    D) Data is not sufficient

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Time left after 24 days =  40 - 24= 16 days Work to be completed 4 days before the scheduled time = 16 - 4 = 12 days \[\because \]       \[\frac{25\times 24}{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{M\times 12}{\frac{2}{3}}\] \[M=\frac{25\times 24\times 2}{12}=100\,\,men\] Extra men required = 100 - 25 = 75 men
