Question

A group of men decided to do a job in 5 days, but 10 men kept dropping out every day. If the job was completed at the end of the 6 t h day, find the initial number of men who had signed up for the work

Answer 1

Explanation-

Let X be the initial number of men then,

According to the question,

5X = X + (X- 10) + (X- 20) + (X - 30) + (X 40) + (X-50)

5X = 6X -150

6X -5X = 150

X = 150 men.
