Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Let the efficiency of one man be E Total work done by N men for 15 days with efficiency of E = N × E × 15 = 15NE Total work done by N men in 3 days = 3NE The remaining work = 15NE – 3NE = 12NE After 3 days 5 men left the work. Remaining workers = (N – 5) The remaining work is completed in 18 days by (N – 5) workers, ⇒ 18 × (N – 5) × E = 12NE ⇒ 18(N – 5) = 12N ⇒ 18N – 90 = 12N ⇒ 6N = 90 ⇒ N = 15 Hence, the correct answer is 15.
