A certain number of men can finish a piece of work in 100 days. If there were 10 men less, it would take 10 days more for the work to be finished. How many men were there originally ? 

A  75 

B  82 

C  110 

D  100 

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Solution: Originally let there be x men. 

      Then, x man need = 100 days  1 man need = 100x days   x - 10 man need = 100x / x-10 days 

    ATQ,

             100x / x-10 = 110  

      or, 100x = 110x - 1100    or 10x = 1100              x = 110
