Thirty men take 20 days to complete a job working 9 hours a
day. How many hour a day should 40 men work to complete the job?

(a) 8 hrs
(b) 7 1/2 hrs
(c) 7 hrs
(d) 9 hrs

Answer Posted / mv jaysheelan

(30Men x 20days x 9hrs)/(40Men) = 135 hrs per day. Which
is impossible. So, the answer is none.

Since the question is vague, if you don't answer this
question you may be given mark for this question.

The question should have been

1. How many days 40 men working 9 hrs a day will take to
complete the work.
Answer: (30Men x 20days x 9hrs)/(40Men x 9 hrs) = 15days

2. How many hours a day should 40 men work for 20days will
take to complete the work.
Answer: (30hrs x 20day x 9hrs)/(40Men x 20days)=6 3/4 hrs
