      Question

      A team of 40 men is assigned to finish a project within

      24 days. They began the task simultaneously. To complete the project 6 days ahead of the planned schedule, how many additional men need to be recruited after the initial 6 days of work?
      A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total amount of work = 40 × 24 = 960 units Amount of work done by 40 men in 6 days = 40 × 6 = 240 units Let ‘x’ more men are required So, (40 + x) × 12 = 720 Or, x + 40 = 60 Or, x = 20
