Question 17
A certain number of people were supposed to complete a work in 24 days. The work, however, took 32 days, since 9 people were absent throughout. How many people were supposed to be working originally?
Solution
Let the total work be W units and the number of people employed to do it were 'x'
24*x = 32*(x-9)
3x = 4(x-9)
x=36
$$\therefore$$ Number of people who were supposed to work originally = 36
C is the correct answer.
