A total of 24 men working 7 hours a day can complete a task in 10 days. In how many days will 21 men working 9 hours a day complete the same task?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 889\frac{8}{9} days.

Total work = 24 men × 7 hours/day × 10 days = 1680 man-hours

Now, 21 men working 9 hours/day per day = 189 man-hours/day

Days required = 1680 ÷ 189 = 889\frac{8}{9} days
