Ten men begin to do a work. But after some days, four of them left the job.
The job that could have been completed in 40 days is completed in 50 days.
Concept used:
M1D1 = M2D2
Calculations:
According to the question,
10 Men begin the work
It could been done in 40 days.
Let 4 men left after x days.
Left days are 40 − x if they do not left and 50−x if they left.
(40 − x)10 = (50 − x)6
⇒ 400 − 10x = 300 − 6x
⇒ 400 - 300 = 10x - 6x
⇒ 4x = 100
⇒ x = 100/4 = 25 days.
∴ The four men left after 25 days.
