Question

A contractor employed 210 workers to unload goods from a ship in 18 days. After 4 days it was found that only 1/6 part of the work was done. How many more men had to be employed to finish the work in time?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A contractor employed 210 workers to unload goods from a ship in 18 days. Let the X number of workers is required to complete the work on time. So, by the MDH formula, we get the number of the workers to complete the remaining works as: 210×20 = X×14
