B. 151/2 days
C. 251/4 days
D. 70 days
E. None of these
Answer: Option E
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Initial Men = 15.These 15 men can finish the work in 210 days.
Total Work = 15 * 210 men-days
They work for 10 days.
Now, 15 men with double efficiency are added.
So, total men = 15 + 2* 15 = 45 men as initial efficiency.
Now, Rest Work will finish in,
=[ 15 * (210 - 10) ]/45
= 200/3 days.
Thus, total time taken to finish the work,
= 10 + 200/3 = 230/3
= 76.66 days.
