Question

A contractor undertakes to do a piece of work in 40 days. He engages 100 men at the beginning and 100 more after 35 days and completes the work in stipulated time. If he had not engaged the additional men, in how many extra days would it be finished?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

[(100 x 35) + (200 x 5)]men can finish the work in 1 day

Therefore, 4500 men can finish the work in 1 day. 100 men can finish it in 4500/100= 45 days.
