Answers
60 days.........is ur answer
Answer:
(60*40) men complete the work in 1 day
1man's 1 day work is 1/60*40
60 men's 5 day work is 5*(1/40)=1/8
remaining work (1-1/8)=7/8
as 5 men leave
55 men's 1 day work=55*(1/60*40)=11/60*8
now
11/60*8 work done by them 1day
7/8 work done by them [(60*8)/11]*(7/8)=420/11=38.18
so they complete in (38.18+5) days{5 day added bcoz alrdy 5dy work had been done}
43.18 day total work will be completed.8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(9) No(24)Let the total work be 2400 (Product of 60 and 40) units of work. Let us assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in a single day.
So in 5 days, 60 men do 5*60 = 300 units of work. Pending work = 2100 units
From days 5->10, 55 men do 5*55 = 275 units of work. Pending work = 1825 units
From days 10->15, 50 men do 5*50 = 250 units of work. Pending work = 1575 units
In a similar fashion, after 20 days pending work = 1350 units, 25 days = 1150 units, 30 days = 975 units, 35 days = 825 units
36 -> 40 days (25 men) = 700 units, 41->45 days(20 men) = 725 units, 46->50 days (15 men) = 650 units, 51->55 days (10 men) = 600 units,56->60 days (5 men) = 575 units
Now as all men leave in the 60th day and still work is pending the work will never get completed3 years agoHelpfull: Yes(8) No(1)we know that 60 men has to work for 40 days
so total men-days =60*40=2400
60 men can work for 5 days=60*5=300 men-days
55 men can work for 5 days=55*5=275 men-days
50 men can work for 5 days=50*5=250 men-days
45 men can work for 5 days=45*5=225 men-days
40 men can work for 5 days=40*5=200 men-days
35 men can work for 5 days=35*5=175 men-days
30 men can work for 5 days-30*5=150 men-days
25 men can work for 5 days=25*5=125 men-days
20 men can work for 5 days=20*5=100 men-days
15 men can work for 5 days=15*5=75 men-days
10 men can work for 5 days=10*5=50 men-days
5 men can work for 5 days=5*5=25 men-days
so total work done=300+275+250+225+200+175+150+125+100+75+50+25=1950
hence work to be done=2400-1950=450 men-days
so work will not be completed2 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)after every 5 days , 5 people left,after 40 days, the remaining persons are 20
i.e. 60-(5*8)=20
also, 60 persons worked for 32 days,
so now, 60 persons worked for 32 days
and remaining 20 persons will finish the work in x days
solving u will get 96 days
ans=968 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(17)work will not be completed bcz after 60 days 15/96 work will be remain...8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(5)answer is 420/118 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(8)46/96 of work left ... work will not be complete..7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(3)[email protected] years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(7)@anurag-plzz explain properly....
8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)ya 13/160 work still left i think. so@dhivya bharti..plz mention the options for that question...plz do paste option8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)Total men days = 60 *40 = 2400 men-days.
60 men work for 5 days = 300 men days
55 men work for 5 days = 275 men days
50 men work for 5 days = 250 men days.
45 men work for 5 days = 225 men days
40 men work for 5 days = 200 men days.
35 men work for 5 days = 175 men days
30 men work for 5 days = 150 men days.
25 men work for 5 days = 125 men days
20 men work for 5 days = 80 men days.
15 men work for 5 days = 75 men days
10 men work for 5 days = 50 men days.
05 men work for 5 days = 25 men days
Total men days till now = 300+275+250+...+50+25 = 1930 men days.
Rest men days = 2400 - 1930 = 470 men days.
Now 5 men needs to do 470 men days in 5 days which is not possible as there is not much man power.
Hence, it cannot be completed.1 year agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)options are
a) 60
b) 80
c) 120
d) none of the above
