Given:
A work can be completed by x persons in 50 days.
Due to absence of 5 persons, the work is completed in 55 days.
Find the value of x.
Formula Used:
Time and Work — Men × Days = Constant work
Solution:
Total work remains same in both cases.
50x = 55(x - 5)
50x = 55x - 275
55x - 50x = 275
5x = 275
x = 55
