    (x + 8) men working 9 hours a day can complete 60% of a

    work in 12 days. (x + 2) men working 3 hours a day can complete the remaining work in 32 days. Find the value of x.
    A 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 18 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    According to the question,
    {(x + 8) × 9 × 12}/0.60 = {(x + 2) × 3 × 32}/0.40
    Or, 3x + 24 = 4x + 8
    Or, x = 16
    Hence, value of x is 16.
