      Question

      20 men working 6 hours a day can paint a building in 25

      days. If 30 men work 8 hours a day, how many days will it take to paint the building?
      A 7.2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 14.2 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 18.5 days Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the efficiency of a man = 'x' units/hour

      Total work = 20 × x × 6 × 25 = 3000x units

      Number of days taken by 30 men working 8 hours/day =

      = 3000x ÷ (30 × x × 8)

      = 3000x ÷ 240x = 12.5 days
