21 labourers can build a wall in 25 days. If 14 additional labourers are employed, then in how many days the work can be completed ?

Answer: D. 15 days

Original labourers = 21
Additional labourers = 14
Total labourers = 21 + 14 = 35.
21 labourers can build a wall in = 25 days.
1 labourers can build a wall in = 25 x 21 days.
35 labourers can build a wall in = ${25 × 21}/35$ = 15 days
