Let efficiency =1
TOTAL work = 40*60*8= 19200
Work completed in 30 days = 40*30*8=9600
work left = 9600
No of old employees left =10
new employees = 40
No of days left =30
efficiency of new employees =1/2
let no of hours be h
10*h*30+40*1/2*30*h=9600
300h +600h =9600
h=96/9
h in minutes =96*60/9=640 min
=10 hour 40 min
Extra time per day =10 hours 40 min-8 hour=2 hour 40 min
