Question

    A task can be done by ‘p’ men in 32 days. If the team

    C 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Total work = 32p units

    So, 32p = (p + 8) × 24

    Or, 32p – 24p = 192

    Or, 8p = 192

    Therefore, p = 192 / 8 = 24
