    A 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the efficiency of a man be 'x' units/day. Let number of extra men needed to finish the work be 'y'. ATQ; Total work = (15 + y) × x × 10 × 8 = 15 × x × 16 × 6 Or, 15 + y = 18 So, y = 18 − 15 = 3 Therefore, the number of extra men required = y = 3
