    A contractor undertook to do a work in 60 days. He employed 50 workers to carry out the job, but after 40 days he found that only half work had been done. Now, how many more worker should he employ to finish the work in time?

    A)  50       

    B)  100

    C)  150                 

    D)  200

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Remaining work\[=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\] Number of remaining days\[=60-40=20\] \[\therefore \]In 40 days\[\frac{1}{2}\]work is done by = 50 workers \[\Rightarrow \]In1 day\[\frac{1}{2}\]work is done by \[=50\times 40\] \[\Rightarrow \]In 20 days - work is done by \[=\frac{50\times 40}{20}\] \[\therefore \]Number of more workers to be employed \[=100-50=50\] Short Trick \[\frac{A\times D}{W}=\frac{{{A}_{1}}\times {{D}_{1}}}{{{W}_{1}}}\] Here, A= 50, D= 40, W \[=\frac{1}{2}\] \[{{A}_{1}}\]= Number of workers required to do the remaining work \[{{D}_{1}}\]= Number of remaining days \[{{W}_{1}}\]= Remaining work \[\because \]       \[\frac{50\times 40}{1/2}=\frac{{{A}_{1}}\times 20}{1/2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{A}_{1}}=\frac{50\times 40}{20}=100\] Number of more workers to be employed \[=100-50=50\]
