Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We are given that `56` men can do a piece of work in `42` days
`1` man can do work in days` = 56 xx 42=2352`
Let the number of men be `x` who completes work in `14` days.
So,`x` men can do work in `=14` days
So, Number of men required to do work in `14` days `= 2352/14`
Hence `168` men can complete work in `14` days.
