13 men can complete a work in 7 days. After 3 days, 4 more men joined them. How many days will they now take to complete the remaining work?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 31173\frac{1}{17}days

Total Work =13 men × 7 days = 91 work units

The work done in 3 days = 13 men × 3 days = 39 work units

Remaining Work = 91 work units − 39 work units = 52 work units

New number of men = 13 + 4 = 17 men

Days to Complete Remaining Work = 5217\frac{52}{17} = 31173\frac{1}{17} days
