55 workers can finish a work in 16 days. For finishing the same work in 10 days, how many more workers are required?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 33.
Workers × Days = Constant Work
⇒ 55 × 16 = x × 10
⇒ x = ( 55 × 16) /(10)
⇒ x = 880 / 10 = 88
additional workers needed
⇒ 88 - 55 = 33 more workers are required
