Given:

20 men can finish a work in 220 days.

At the end of 90 days, 20 additional men are employed.

Concept used:

Total work = Number of men X Total number of days

Calculation:

Let, X more days to complete the work after 90 days.

Total work = Number of men X the total number of days.

Total work = 20 x 220

Total work = 4400.

Work completed after 90 days = 20 x 90 

= 1800

Required work = 1800.

Remaining work = Total work - Work completed after 90 days.

= 4400 - 1800

= 2600.

Remaining work = Total men after new recruitment x X

2600 = 40 x X

X = 

X = 65.

Thus, Work will be completed after 65 more days.

 Alternate Method

20 men can finish a work in 220 days but the first 90 days done remaining days (220 - 90) = 130, then 20 more joined

⇒ 130 × 20 = k × 40 

⇒ k = (130 × 20)/40 = 65 days

Thus, Work will be completed after 65 more days
