Solution : Given: A contractor undertook to finish a work in 92 days and employed 110 men. After 48 days, he found that he had already done $\frac{3}{5}$ part of the work. We know, $\frac{M_{1}\times D_{1}}{W_{1}}=\frac{M_{2}\times D_{2}}{W_{2}}$ Where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men, $D_1$ and $D_2$ are days and $W_1$ and $W_2$ are work done. Let $n$ number of men be withdrawn. So, $\frac{110 \times 48}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{(110-n) \times 44}{\frac{2}{5}}$ $⇒ 110 × 16 = (110-n) × 22$ $⇒160 = (110-n) × 2$ $⇒80 = 110-n$ $⇒n = 110 - 80$ $\therefore n = 30$ Hence, the correct answer is 30.
