Explanation :
Given that, 50 men employed for 35 days and 50 more men employed for 15 days so that the work could be finished in 50 days.
Thus, the total work=50*35+(50+50)15=3250
Suppose, it takes x days to the finish the whole work, if additional men were not employed.
So, we have an equation here.
50*x=3250
x=65 days
Therefore, it takes 15 days more than stipulated time.
