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
