Question : 31 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2013]

A contractor undertook to finish a certain work in 124 days and employed 120 men. After 64 days, he found that he had already done $2/3$ of the work. How many men can be discharged now so that the work may finish in time ?

a) 50

b) 40

c) 48

d) 56

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 1,

Remaining work = $1 - 2/3 = 1/3$ ;

Remaining days = 124–64= 60

${M_1D_1}/W_1 = {M_2D_2}/W_2$

${120 × 64}/{2/3} = {M_2 × 60}/{1/3}$

$M_2 = {120 × 64}/{2 × 60}$ = 64

No. of men can be discharged

= 120 - 64 = 56 men
