Question

A contractor employs 56 labourers to lay a road. He agrees to get the work done in 15 days. But the authorities want the work to be completed in 10 days. How many more men should he employ?​

Answer 1

56 * 15 = 10 * x

840 = 10x

x = 840/10

x = 84

84 - 56 = 28

Answer 2

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 1 man can do the work=56×15 days=840 days
2. Men needed to do the work in 10 days =840÷10=84 day
3. More men needed= 84-56=28 men
4. Therefore, 28 more men are needed to do the work in 10 days
