Answer 1

this is correct answer

Answer 2

There are 8 more men needed to complete in 13 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of men = 26

Number of days = 17

If the number of days = 13.

We need to find the number of more men must be hired to complete it in 13 days.

According to question, it becomes,

$26\times 17=x\times 13\\\\2\times 17=x\\\\34=x$

Number of more men would be

34-26=8

Hence, there are 8 more men needed to complete in 13 days.
