A certain number of men can finish a piece of work in 100 days. If there were 10 men less, it would take 10 days more for the work to be finished. How many men were there originally?

   
   

  • A.75
  • B.82
  • C.100
  • D.110

Answer: D

Originally let there be x men.

Less men, More days     (Indirect Proportion)

 Therefore, (x-10) : x  :: 100 :110

=> (x - 10) * 110 = x * 100    => x= 110
