Question

If 32 men work 12 hour can finish a work in 15 days how many workers 10 hours a day can do double the worj in 24 days

Answer 1

Answer: 48 workers can do double the work in 24 days, working 10 hours a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of men = 32

Time taken = 12 hour

Number of days = 15

Total time taken to finish the work = 12 x 15 hours = 180 hours

Therefore amount of work done = 32 x 180 = 5760

Now, if same work is to be done in 10 hours for 24 days, then

Total time taken = 10 x 24 = 240 hours

Amount of work = 5760,

∴ number of workers = $\frac{5760}{240}$ = 24 workers

Now, if double work is to be done, then we will need , 24 x 2 = 48 workers.

Hence, 48 workers can do double the work in 24 days, working 10 hours a day.
