Question 57

18 men can complete a work in 9 days. After they have worked for 5 days, 6 more men join them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work ?

Solution

Total number of work = $$18\times\ 9=162\ \ units$$

Number of work done in 5 days by 18 men = $$18\times\ 5=90\ \ units$$

Remaining work = 162 - 90 = 72 units

Now required days to complete 72 units = $$\frac{72}{24}=\ 3\ \ days.$$
