Answer:
30 workers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A group of workers promised to complete a piece of work in 10 days
let x be workers
x workers in 10 days
we know,
work=men*days*hours
work=x*10 -----(1)
but 5 of them did not report for work. If it took the remaining workers 12 days to complete the work
5 left means (x-5) men completed in 12 days
work=(x-5)*12 ---(2)
Eq (1) equals to (2)
x*10=(x-5)*12
x=30 men
