12 men complete a work in 14 days. 5 days after they had started working, 3 men join them. How many more days will all of them take to complete the remaining work?

Correct Answer: 3

Explanation:

Let p be the required number of days.


From the given data,


12 x 14 = 12 x 5 + (12+3) x p 


12 x 14 = 12[5 + 3p]


14 = 5 + 3p


3p = 9


p = 3 days.


 


Hence, more 3 days all of them take to complete the remaining work.
