Question

If x+1 men will do the work in x+1 days find the number of days that x+2 men can finish the same work

Answer 1

i think it should be x-1

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{(x+1)^2}{x+2}$ days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : x+1 men will do the work in x+1 days

To Find : find the number of days that x+2 men can finish the same work

Solution :

x+1 will do work in days = x+1

1 man will do work in days = $(x+1)(x+1)$

So, x+2 men will do work in days = $\frac{(x+1)(x+1)}{x+2}$

                                                       = $\frac{(x+1)^2}{x+2}$

Hence  the number of days that x+2 men can finish the same work is $\frac{(x+1)^2}{x+2}$ days
