Given :-

  • 12 workers can do a piece of work in 20 days .

To Find :-

  • How many workers should be added to complete the work in 16 days ?

Solution :-

According to the question ,

→ In 20days 12 workers can do a piece of work.

→ In 1day 12*20 workers can do that work

( Less days , more workers )

→ In 16 days 12*20/16 = 15 workers can do the work.

So 15 -12 = 3 workers should be added to complete the work.

Hence the required answer is 3 .

I hope this helps.
