A contractor undertook to do a certain piece of work in 40 days. He
engages
100 men at the beginning and 100 more after 35 days and completes
the
work in stipulated time. If he had not engaged the additional men,
how
many days behind schedule would it be finished?
Answer:
40 days- 35 days=5 days
=>(100*35)+(200*5) men can finish
the work in 1 day.
4500 men can finish it in
4500/100= 45 days
This s 5 days behind the
schedule.
