Answer 2

Answer:

90 Men Fell Sick

Step-by-step explanation:

270 men were supposed to finish a piece of work in 14 days.

1 man would have taken (270 x 14) = 3 780 days

However, some fell sick and the rest took 21 days to complete the piece of work

If y men fell sick, (270 - y) men were left.

(270 - y) men took 21 days to finish a piece of work.

3 780 = (270 - y)(21) => 270 - y = 3 780/21 = 180 => y = 90.

90 men fell sick
