The additional men required to complete this work 9 days earlier will be 15.
What is work time?
In time and work, we need to calculate the time required to complete a unit of work and find work done in a described period of time. Its known the amount of work done by a person varies directly with the time taken by them to complete the work on time.
Given that work was done by 55 men in 42 days
55 men ⇔ 42 days
Rate of work by 1 man ⇔ 1/(55×42)
Rate of work by 1 man ⇔ 1/(2310)
Now by adding N number of people the work need to complete 9 days earlier than 33 days.
Rate of work by 1 man ⇔ 1/[(55+N)×33]
Since the rate of work by 1 man will be the same for both cases
1/(2310) = 1/[(55+N)×33]
N = 15 hence,15 men additional required to complete the work 9 days earlier.
