SSC CPO Tier I - 11th December 2019 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q136

Working 7 hours a day, 18 persons can complete a certain work in 32 days. In how many days would 14 persons complete the same work, working 8 hours a day?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 36 days

Understanding/Application

Here, 

Total work = Time × Man × Day = (7 × 18 × 32) units

Now, Time = 8hr

Man = 14

So, Days = Total work/(Time × Man) = (7 × 18 × 32)/(8 × 14) = 36 days
