Answer 1

1. Question⇒   36 workers can finish a piece of work in 14 days. If the work is to be completed in 8 days, how many extra workers are required?

Step-by-step explanation:

• Less Men, means more Days {Indirect Proportion}
• Let the number of men be x then,
• x : 36 :: 14 : 8
• =>8x = 36 * 14
• =>x =[36 * 14] /8
• => x = 63
• ∴ extra men needed =[63-36]  = 27men
• So 27 more men are required
