your work is completed by some workers in some days if the number of workers exceeds by 25 the work completes 5 days earlier if the number of workers is less by 50 then it takes 20 more complete the work then find the number of workers and days taken by them to complete that work
Answers
Answer:
Number of days taken to complete the work is 10 days
Number of men needed to complete the work is 75 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as:
Number of worker = m
number of days = d
if the number of workers exceeds by 25 the work completes 5 days earlier
So, new worker = m + 25
And new days = d - 5
Now,
= constant
So , =
or, m × d = ( m + 25 ) × ( d - 5 )
or, m d = m d - 5 m + 25 d - 125
Or, - 5 m + 25 d = 125 .........1
Again
if the number of workers is less by 50 then it takes 20 more days to complete the work
So, Similarly
m × d = ( m -50 ) × ( d + 20 )
Or, m d = m d + 20 m - 50 d - 1000
Or, 20 m - 50 d = 1000 ........2
Solving eq 1 and 2
( 20 m - 50 d ) + 4 × ( - 5 m + 25 ) = 1000 - 4 × 125
Or, ( 20 m - 20 m) + ( - 50 d + 100 d) = 500
or, 0 + 50 d = 500
∴ d =
i.e d = 10
So, Number of days taken to complete the work = d = 10 days
Put the value of d in 2
20 m - 50 × 10 = 1000
Or, 20 m = 1000 + 500
∴ m =
i.e m = 75
So, Number of men needed to complete the work = m = 75
Hence, Number of days taken to complete the work is 10 days
And Number of men needed to complete the work is 75 . Answer
