      Question

      An organization engaged 16 workers to complete a task in 24

      days. After 9 days, 6 workers had to leave unexpectedly. How many additional days will it now take to complete the work?
      A 5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 9 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the efficiency of each worker be 'e' units/day

      Total work = 16 Ă— 24 Ă— e = 384e units

      Work done in 9 days = 16 Ă— 9 Ă— e = 144e units

      Remaining work = 384e - 144e = 240e units

      Remaining workers = 16 - 6 = 10

      Time needed = 240e Ă· (10 Ă— e) = 24 days

      Extra days = 24 - 15 = 9 days
