Question 17

A certain number of people were supposed to complete a work in 24 days. The work, however, took 32 days, since 9 people were absent throughout. How many people were supposed to be working originally?

Solution

Let the total work be W units and the number of people employed to do it were 'x'

24*x = 32*(x-9)

3x = 4(x-9)

x=36

$$\therefore$$ Number of people who were supposed to work originally = 36

C is the correct answer.
