    45 men can complete a work in 16 days. Six days after they started working, 30 more men joined them. How many days will they now take to complete the remaining work?

    A)  5 days                         

    B)  6 days   

    C)  7 days                         

    D)  8 days

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): 45 MEN, 16 days \[\Rightarrow \] 1 work. 1 man, 1 day \[\Rightarrow \frac{1}{45\times 16}\]  work For first 6 days: 45 men, 6 days \[\Rightarrow \frac{45\times 16}{45\times 16}\]  work =3/8 work. Work left \[=1-3/8=5/8.\] Now, 45+30=75men, 1 man, 1 day \[=\frac{1}{45\times 16}\]= work 75 men, 1 day \[=\frac{75}{45\times 16}\] work 75 men, x days \[=\frac{75x}{45\times 16}\] work But \[=\frac{75x}{45\times 16}\]work= \[\frac{5}{8}\] \[\Rightarrow x=\frac{5}{8}\times \frac{45\times 16}{75}=6\]days.
