Question 15

24 men can repair a road in 50 days. If they are joined by 16 more men, then in how much time (in days) the road can be repaired?

Solution

24 men can repair a road in 50 days

Let time taken by (24+16=40) men = $$x$$ days

Using, $$M_1D_1=M_2D_2$$

=> $$24\times50=40\times x$$

=> $$x=\frac{120}{4}=30$$

$$\therefore$$ Road can be prepared in = 30 days

=> Ans - (D)
