20 men can complete a piece of work in 16 days. after 5 days from the start of the work, some men left. if the remaining work was completed by the remaining men in 18 1/3 days, how many men left after 5 days from the start of the work?

• after 5 days of work , 8 men left.
  
  in 5 day 5/16 work complete and 11/16 work remaning
  1man-1day- 1/16*20 work
  x men left and y work
  (1/(16*20)) *y*55/3 =11/16
  y=12 men
  
  x=20-12=8
