In a office work is distribute between p persons. If 1/8 members are absent then work increased for each person.

• let total % of work is 100%
  total person=p
  1/8 person are absent of total person . so absent person is 1/8p ie p/8.
  left person is, p-p/8=7p/8.
  
  p person do the work 100%
  
  1 person do the work 100*p%
  
  7p/8 person do the work (100*p*8)/7p%=114.28%
  
  
  
  work increased for each person is=(114.28-100)%=14.28% (ans)

• ans is 1/8 increase between (p-1/8) person.
  because p person work 1 unit then (p-1/8) works 7/8 work so here increased work is (1-7/8)= 1/8

• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
• Answer : 7/8
  Solution:
  Let, total work be p units,
  therefore work for individual is 1units
  now if p/8 are absent so
  7p/8 persons have to do p units of work,
  i.e. 1 person will do 8/7 unit of work.
  increase in work = 8/7 - 1 = 7/8 [ans]

• work=x
  no. of persons=p
  total work=p*x
  1/8 members r absent means....
  (p-1/8)
  work increased =total - given senario
  p*x-(p-1/8)= p2*x+1/8*p*x= p*x(p+1/8)

• Number of persons=p
  1 person's work=1/p
  person absent=p/8
  total work of absent person=(1/p)*(p/8)=1/8____(1)
  person present=p-(p/8)=7p/8____(2)
  increase in per person work=(1)/(2)=(1/8)/(7p/8)=1/7p
