Working 9 hours a day, 12 persons complete a work in 25 days. Working 6 hours a day, 15 persons can do the same work in.
Correct Answer :
30 days
Solution :
The correct option is 30 days.
To find the number of days required to complete the work, we can use the concept of "Man-Hours" or the work equivalence formula:
Where:
- is the initial number of persons = 12
- is the initial number of days = 25
- is the initial working hours per day = 9
- is the new number of persons = 15
- is the new number of days (which we need to find)
- is the new working hours per day = 6
Substitute the given values into the formula:
Now, calculate the left side of the equation:
Now, set up the equation to solve for :
Divide both sides by 90 to find :
Thus, 15 persons working 6 hours a day can complete the same work in 30 days.
