It was estimated that 52 men can complete a strip in a newly constructed highway connecting cities P and Q in 10 days. Due to an emergency, 12 men were sent to another project. How many number of days, more than the original estimate, will be required to complete the strip?
- 3 days
- B5 days
- C10 days
- D13 days
Explanation
Total work = 52 men x 10 days = 520 man-days. With 52-12=40 men remaining: days needed = 520/40 = 13 days. Extra days beyond the original estimate = 13-10 = 3 days.
