This questions was previously asked in

SSC MTS 7th October 2021 Shift-1

- Let's designate the original number of people as "n."

- The work would take 46 days with these "n" people.

- With 8 more people, i.e., (n + 8), the work takes 30 days (46 days - 16 days).

- The amount of work can be represented as "People x Days."

- Thus, n x 46 = (n + 8) x 30.

- Simplifying the equation: 46n = 30n + 240.

- This gives 16n = 240.

- Solving this, n = 15.

- Therefore, Option 3: 15 is the correct number of original people.
