Q.

12 men complete a work in 9 days. After they have worked for 6 days, 4 more men join them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work ?

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

1 man's 1 day work = 1/108 12 men's 6 day's work = 1/9 x 6 = 2/3 Remaining work = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 16 men's 1 day work = 1/108 x 16 = 4/27 4/27 work is done by them in 1 day. 1/3 work is done by them in 27/4 x 1/3 = 9/4 days.
