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

Answer Posted / dominic

30*20*9=40*20*?
?=30*20*9/40*20
?=5400/600
?=9.

here 10 workers r working extra for 1800hrs(10*20*9)
so add 1800+5400(30*20*9)=7200 total working hrs for 40 workers.
So totalhrs a wokershould work to complete the job within 20
days is = 7200/40*20
=7200/800
=9hrs/day.
