9 men finish one-third work in 10 days. The number of additional men required for finishing the remaining work in 2 more days will be

OPtion

1) 81
2) 80
3) 78
4) 64
5) 55
6) 47
7) 30
8) 28
9) 25
10)21

Solution

Time taken by 9 men to finish the whole work = 30 days
Remaining work = (1 - 1/3) = 2/3
More work, more men (direct)
Less days, more men (indirect)
Work 1/3 : 2/3
Days 2 : 10
:: } 9:x
Therefore x = (2/3 * 10 * 9 * 3 * 1/2) = 90
Hence, additional number of men = 90-9 = 81
Option 1)

Correct Option: 1 Best Solution (25)

m1*d1/w1=m2*d2/w2

(9*10)/(1/3)=(?)*2/(2/3)
?=90 men required.
already 9 members are there.
extra men needed=90-9=81

let ,
9 men do work in 10 days=10*9=90 unit
work left=180 unit
work to be done in one day=180/2=90 unit
additional men=90-9=81

1st case:
No. of men's engaged for work:9
No. of hours:10hrs
work done:1/3

2nd case:
No. of men require for work:(9+x)
Additional Days :2
work to be done: 2/3

Acc. to formula:

(M1*D1)/W1=(M2*D2)/W2

(9*10)/(1/3)=((9+X)*2*3)/2

Upon solving ,u ll get x=81 workers

9 men finish 1/3 work in 10 days, so 9 men finish all the work in 10 * 3 = 30 days
9 men finish all work in 30 days, so 1 man finish all work in 30 * 9 = 270 days
This implies 1 man will finish 2/3 work in (2/3) * 270 = 180 days
180 / 2 = 90 men will complete 2/3 work in 2 days

Since 90 men can complete the remaining 2/3 work, and there are already 9 men here, the required additional men will be = 90 - 9 = 81

ABHINAV PUSHPAM   9 years AGO

[9*10/(1/3)]=[x*2/(2/3)]
x=90
so, additional men required = 90-9= 81 men

Sundar Kumar   9 years AGO

Time taken by 9 men to do the whole work = 30 days
Remaining Work = (1-(1/3)) = 2/3
since , more work, more men ( direct)
and less days, more men (Indirect)
Work =(1/3):(2/3)::9:x
days 2:10::9:x
x=(2/3)*10*9*3*(1/2) = 90
Additional number of men = (90-9) =81
Answer : Option 1) 81

Devendra Marghade   9 years AGO

9 Men's 1 day work in 1/(3*10)=1/30 days.
So 1 Man's 1 day work=1/(9*30)=1/270
As remaining work=2/3, which is to be completed in 2 days with existing 9 men & 'x' additional men, then
2*(1/30) + 2*(x/270) =2/3
(9+x)/270=1/3, x=81

Shiva Teja   9 years AGO

9 men finishes 1/3 of work in 10 days
One man in one day completes (1/3)*(1/9)*(1/10)=1/270 of work

To complete 2/3 of work in 2 days
We need ........(2/3) / ((1/270)*2) no of workers
no of workers needed =90
No of additional workers needed=90-9=81

9 men finish 1/3 work in 10 days,
so 9 men finish all the work in 10 *3 = 30 days
9 men finish all work in 30 days,
so1 man finish all work in 30 * 9 = 270 days
This implies 1 man will finish 2/3 work in (2/3) * 270 = 180 days
180 / 2 = 90 men will complete 2/3work in 2 daysSince 90 men can complete the remaining 2/3 work,
and there are already 9 men here, the required additional men will be = 90 - 9 = 81

Divyabala R   9 years AGO

When each men works in equal rate then 9 men * 10 days / work done(1/3) = x men * 2 days / work to be done (2/3)
gives , total of 90 men to complete the remaining work in 2 days .

We already have 9 men so additionally we need 81 and thats it.

Total mandays required to complete job = 9*10*3=270
mandays utilised in 10 days = 9*10=90 days
Balance mandays for 2 days = (270-90)=180
