Q:

12 men complete a work in 14 days. 5 days after they had started working, 3 men join them. How many more days will all of them take to complete the remaining work?

A) 5 B) 4
C) 3 D) 2

Let p be the required number of days.

From the given data,

12 x 14 = 12 x 5 + (12+3) x p 

12 x 14 = 12[5 + 3p]

14 = 5 + 3p

3p = 9

p = 3 days.
