Correct Answer: 100
Solution : Given: Men employed initially $(M_1) = 200$ Let total men required to complete the work = $M_2$ Total days = 150 Work done in days $(D_1) = 50$ Remaining days $(D_2) = 100$ Work completed $(W_1) = \frac{1}{4}$ Remaining work $(W_2) = \frac{3}{4}$ We know that, $\frac{M_1\times D_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2\times D_2}{W_2}$ Putting the values, we get ⇒ $\frac{200\times 50}{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{M_2\times 100}{\frac{3}{4}}$ ⇒ $M_2=300$ Additional men required = 300 – 200 = 100 Hence, the correct answer is 100.
