Dear aspirant,
From the question we know that,
Work done by 15 man in 24 days is 1/3.
We need to find out,
How many people are required to do 2/3 work in 6 days.
So 1st calculate total work which is 15×24×3
And it's 2/3rd remaining work is 15×24×3×2÷3 which is = 15×24×2.
now formula is
Work = no. Of days to complete the work × no. Of person required to complete the work.
so the remaining work to be completed is 15×24×2
And no of days in which work is to be completed= 30-24= 6 days remaining.
no. Of person required to complete the work is 15+x.
so ,
15×24×2 = 6 (15+ x)
30×24 ÷6 = 15+x
5×24. = 15 +x
120 -15 = x
so additional no. Of people required to complete the work in remaining days is 105.
