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. 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. |
