Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- Assume 1day work of a man is 1 unit.
If a new person joined the work on second day, 2 units of work get completed.
Similarly 3 units on 3rd day,
4 units on 4th day so on...
Then for all the eleven days the total work = 1 + 2 + 3+ .............11 = 66 units (Use formula n(n+1)/2)
Now 6 men perday work = 6 units per day.
They can complete 66 units of work in = 66/6=11 days - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
