  • Question
  • 50 men can build a tank in 40days, but though they begin the work together, 5 men quit every ten days. The time needed to build the tank is ?


  • Options
  • A. 50 days
  • B. 48 days
  • C. 47.5 days
  • D. 49 days

  • Correct Answer
  • 50 days 

    Explanation

    50 men can build a tank in 40 days 

    Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day

    Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units

     

    50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work

    45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work

    40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work

    35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work

    So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and

     

    Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units

     

    30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.

     

    Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10

     

    Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.
