120 men can do a work in 90 days,how many more men required to complete the same work in 40 days?

Answer: 270
Explanation

To find how many more men are needed, we can use the formula for work:

Work=Men×Daystext{Work} = text{Men} times text{Days}

Initially, 120 men can complete the work in 90 days. The total work can be represented as:

120×90=10800 man-days120 times 90 = 10800 text{ man-days}

Now, we need to find how many men are needed to complete the work in 40 days:

Required Men=1080040=270 mentext{Required Men} = frac{10800}{40} = 270 text{ men}
