Correct Answer: 65
Solution : Time taken by 20 men to complete the work = 220 days So, total work = total men working × number of days = 20 × 220 units = 4400 units Work completed by the end of 90 days = 20 × 90 = 1800 units Work left after 90 days = 4400 – 1800 = 2600 units Number of people who joined after 90 days = 20 Total number of people after 90 days = 20 + 20 = 40 men Let the time taken by them to complete the left-out work be t days So, work done by them in t days = 40 × t According to the question, 40 × t = 2600 or, t = 65 days Hence, the correct answer is 65.
