Download Solution PDFGiven:
6 labourers can finish a work in 16 days.
Formula used:
Men × day = Total work
Calculation:
Total work = 6 × 16 = 96 unit.
According to the question, the work is to be finished by 8 days
Let the number of men required be a.
⇒ (10 + a) × 8 = 96
⇒ (10 + a) = 12
⇒ a = 2
∴ The number of extra labour required is 2.
