The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the process of calculating the work done by each person and the total work completed over the days. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Work Rate**: Each of the 4 people can complete the work in 19 days. Therefore, the work done by one person in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by one person in one day} = \frac{1}{19} \] 2. **Calculating Work Done Each Day**: - **Day 1**: Only 1 person works: \[ \text{Work done on Day 1} = \frac{1}{19} \] - **Day 2**: 1 more person joins, so 2 people work: \[ \text{Work done on Day 2} = 2 \times \frac{1}{19} = \frac{2}{19} \] - **Day 3**: 1 more person joins, so 3 people work: \[ \text{Work done on Day 3} = 3 \times \frac{1}{19} = \frac{3}{19} \] - **Day 4**: All 4 people work: \[ \text{Work done on Day 4} = 4 \times \frac{1}{19} = \frac{4}{19} \] 3. **Calculating Total Work Done in 4 Days**: Now, we add the work done over the first 4 days: \[ \text{Total work done in 4 days} = \frac{1}{19} + \frac{2}{19} + \frac{3}{19} + \frac{4}{19} = \frac{10}{19} \] 4. **Calculating Remaining Work**: The total work is considered as 1 (the whole work). Therefore, the remaining work after 4 days is: \[ \text{Remaining work} = 1 - \frac{10}{19} = \frac{19 - 10}{19} = \frac{9}{19} \] 5. **Calculating Work Done by 4 People Together**: From Day 5 onwards, all 4 people work together. The work done by 4 people in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by 4 people in one day} = 4 \times \frac{1}{19} = \frac{4}{19} \] 6. **Calculating Days Required to Complete Remaining Work**: To find out how many days (let's call it \(X\)) are needed to complete the remaining work of \(\frac{9}{19}\): \[ \frac{4}{19} \times X = \frac{9}{19} \] Solving for \(X\): \[ X = \frac{9}{19} \div \frac{4}{19} = \frac{9}{4} = 2.25 \text{ days} \] 7. **Total Days Taken**: The total number of days taken to complete the work is: \[ \text{Total days} = 4 \text{ (initial days)} + 2.25 \text{ (additional days)} = 6.25 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer: The total time taken to complete the work is **6.25 days**.

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the process of calculating the work done by each person and the total work completed over the days. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Work Rate**: Each of the 4 people can complete the work in 19 days. Therefore, the work done by one person in one day is: \[ \text{Work done by one person in one day} = \frac{1}{19} ...
