Best answer

Correct option (a) 170/3 days

Explanation: 

Let a man can do 1 unit/day. 

Total work = 40men×40days=1600 units 

40 men can do the work in 10 days = 400 units 

According to question, (5 men left after 10 days) 

35 men can do the work in 10 days = 350 units 

30 men can do the work in 10 days = 300 

25 men can do the work in 10 days = 250 

20 men can do the work in 10 days = 200 

Men left 20-5 = 15 and work left = 1600- 1500 = 100 units they will complete in
