The following question, there are three statements I, II and III. Read the question carefully and mark your answer according to which statements(s) is/are sufficient to the answer the question. How many workers are required to complete the work in 15 days? Statement I: 15% of the work can be completed by 5 workers in 5 days Statement II: 20 workers can complete the work in 12 days Statement III: (1/5)th of the work can be completed by 6 workers in 5 days Correct Answer None of these
Given that
Statement II:
Total work = 20 × 12 = 240 units
Using the concept of man-days, 240 units = men × No. of days
⇒ 240 = men (workers) × 15
⇒ No of workers = 240/15 = 16
Statement II is sufficient to find the number of workers required to complete the work in 15 days
Statement I:
5 workers can complete 15% of work in 5 days
5 workers can complete 45% of work in 15 days
To complete 100% work in 15 days
100/9 worker would be required
Statement I is sufficient to find the number of workers required to complete the work in 15 days
Statement III:
(1/5)th of the work can be completed by 6 workers in 5 days
For completing 1/5 work in 15 days, 2 workers are required
For completing total work in 15 days, 10 workers are required
Statement III is sufficient to find the number of workers required to complete the work in 15 days.
Hence, any one of them is sufficient to answer.
