  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 5
  • B. 4
  • C. 3
  • D. 2

  • Correct Answer


  • 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.
