Question

A task is completed by 15 men in 16 days . how many men will be needed to complete 1/14th of the task in 15 days .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Simple way to understand this question is to go step by step

10 men requires 14 days to finish a work so in one day they finishes 1/14th of total work

Now 10 men can finish 1/14 th of total work in one day so 1 man can complete 1/140 th of total work

Work is to be completed in 4 days so total work completed by 1 man in 4 days would be 4*(1/140) i.e 1/35

1 man completed 1/35th of work in 4 days hence 35 men would be required to make it complete i.e 35*(1/35) = 1

So 25 more men required
