4 men can check exam papers in 8 days working 5 hours regularly. What is the total hours when 2 men will check the double of the papers in 20 days ?
A. 8 hours
B. 9 hours
C. 7 hours
D. 11 hours
Answer : A. 8 hours
Explanation:
-
- Let a man can do 1 unit of work in 1 hour.
-
- Total units of work = 4 * 8 * 5 = 160 units.
-
- Now work = 2 * 160 = 320 units
-
- Now 2 men work for 20 days. Let in x hours they have to work per day.
-
- Now total work = 2 * x * 20 = 40x
-
- 40x = 320
-
- So x = 320/40
-
-
- =
8 hours
