If Reducing 2 men will bbe enough too finish the work in 10 days

For rate of work use the formualar

rate of work = quantity of work / duration

10 men can do the work at a rate of = 1 / 8

x men can do same work at a rate of = 1 / 10

x * ( 1 / 8 ) = 10 * ( 1 / 10 )

x = 1 * 8 = 8

therefore 8 men can do the work in 10 days

number of men reduced = 10 men - 8 men = 2 men

Hope it helped
