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?

Answer 1

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 Ans

Answer 2

For the same amount of work to be done, we will use the formula

$men \times days = new \: men \: \times new \: days$

$36 \times 14 = n \times 8$

$n = \frac{36 \times 14}{8}$

$n = 63$

so the extra workers required will be

$extra \: workers = 63 - 36$

$= 27$

so 27 more workers will be required to finish the work in 8days
