Sorry,this is a pretty childish sum.you being an engg. student should have been able to do this.have you really tried it?apply unitary method. 30 men take 20 days to complete a job working 9 hours a day.1 man takes 20 days to complete it working 270 hours a day.40 men take 20 days to complete it working 270/40=6.75 hours per day. a day takes 15
