Solution : Given: Work done by $(x + 4)$ men in $(x + 5)$ days is equal to the work done by $(x - 5)$ men in $(x + 20)$ days. We know, Total work = number of men × number of days According to the question, $(x + 4)(x + 5)=(x - 5)(x + 20)$ ⇒ $x^2+9x+20=x^2+15x-100$ ⇒ $6x=120$ $\therefore x=20$ Hence, the correct answer is 20.
