Question

16 men complete one-fourth of a work in 12 days. What is the additional number of men required to complete the work in 12 more days?

a. 48

Answer 1

Answer:

48 men.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 16 people do 1/4th work in 12 days, they need 12*4=48 days to complete it.

Hence, one person can do whole work alone in 48*16=768 days.

Now considering 1/4th work is already done. We need to so remaining 3/4th in 12 days. If one person does it, he will need 768*3/4 = 576 days.

And no. of people required to do it in 12 days , 576/12 = 48 people
