    Question

    40 laborers were hired to finish a construction job in

    50 days. After 35 days of work, only 70% of the job was done. How many additional laborers are needed to finish the remaining work in the remaining time?
    A 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 27 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 54 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let 'x' more laborers are hired. So, according to question: (40 × 35)/0.70 = {(40 + x) × 15}/0.30 40 + x = 93.33 ≈ 94 x = 54 So, 54 more laborers need to be hired to complete the work in time.
