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)

• Total of 8 persons. Persons present = 7.
  Work :: 1/persons
  Work = 8/7
  Excess work 1 - 8/7 = 14.28 or 1/7

• work done by each person=1/p
  1/8 mems of total p members are absent.work done by them=1/p*p/8=1/8
  work increased for each person=(1/8)/(p-p/8)=1/7p

• Let the total work be "w"
  
  then A/c
  ---------
  work load per person = w/p
  now when 1/8 of 'p' are absent ,then
  new work load per person = (w )/(p-p/8)
  i.e. 8w/7
  Increased work load= (new work load) - (old work load )
  =w/(7p) OR 1/7 of old work load

• P PERSON DOES THE TOTAL WORK.
  SO 1 '' '' '' 1/P ''
  NOW P/8 " " " TOTAL "
  SO 1 " " " 8/P "
  INCREASE 7/P..

• The answer will be:-
  800/(p-8)%
  let each person has 100% work.
  If 8 person absent then increased work will be 800% and it should be divided in (p-8) person
  therefore, increased work per person will be 800/(p-8)%

• 1/8 of the absent person has to be done by the remaining seven colleagues, then (1/8) / 7 = 1/56
