A Team Of Workers Was Employed By A Contractor Who Undertook To Finish 360 Pieces Of An Article In A Certain Number Of Days. Making Four More Pieces Per Day Than Was Planned, They Could Complete The Job A Day Ahead Of Schedule. How Many Days Did They Take To Complete The Job ?

Answer»

DAYS taken in the general scenario = 360/N;

Days taken when 4 articles are prepared extra per day = 360/N + 4;

The difference in the day is one, therefore;

360/n - 360/n+4 =1

N2 + 4N – 1440 = 0;

N = 36,

i.e. number of item prepared in general scenario is 36, and where 4 articles prepared extra is 40.

Therefore no of days taken to complete the job = 360/40 = 9.
