0. A contract is to be completed in 46 days and 117 men were set to work, each working 8 hours a day. After 33 days, 4/7 of the work is completed. How many additional men may be employed so that the work may be completed in time, each man now working 9 hours a day?

  • Option : B
  • Explanation :
    of work is completed.
    Remaining work = 1-() =
    Remaining period = 46 - 33 = 13 days
    Less work, less men(direct proportion)
    Less days, more men(Indirect proportion)
    More hours/day, less men(Indirect proportion)
    work :
    Days 13:33 :: 117:x
    hrs/day 9:8
    × 13 × 9 × x = ()33 × 8 × 117
    x = (3 × 33 × 8 × 117) / (4 × 13 × 9)
    = 198 men
    So, additional men to be employed
    = 198 - 117 = 81
