Answers
Answer:
"28 Men"
28 More Men will be required to complete the double the work in 16 days
Step-by-step explanation:
14 men can complete a piece of work in 24 days.
It means to complete the work man days required are:
14men×24days=336 men days.
Now Double the work has to be completed in 16 days.
It means total man days will be= 2×336 Man days
= 672 Men days
No of men required to complete this work in 16 days.
= 672 men days/16 days
= 42 men
since 14 men are already on work. hence additional requirement of man will be.
42men-14men=28men
28 More Men will be required
28 additional workers will be required to complete double the work in 16 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The total work is done by 14 men in 24 days.
To find: The number of additional men needed to do the work in 16 days
Solution:
The work days attended by 14 men= 14×24 =336 men days
Double the work is to be done in 16 days = 2×336
= 672men days
Now, we can calculate the number of men required to do the work in 16days= 672÷16
=42
Since 14 workers are already working, the extra men needed =42-16
= 28 men
Result:
28 additional men will be required to complete double the work in 16 days.
