Working 11 hours per day, 24 men and 33 women can complete the construction of a road in 78 days. The working capacity of 3 women equals to that of 1 man. Now the authority decides that the road is to be constructed in 55 days, working 13 hours per day. If there are only 27 women present, how many men will be needed?

A. 33
B. 45
C. 87
D. 99
E. None
Let efficiency of Woman = X, Men= 3x

Total Work = 78days*11 hours/day* (24*3x +33*x){efficiency of man & woman per hour}...........1
Now, work remains same but working days, hours and no. of man woman is different. Let's say Y man required which also what we need to find out..
W= 55 days*13 hours/day (27*x + 3x* y)..........2
Equate 1 & 2
78days*11 hours/day* (24*3x +33*x) = 55 days*13 hours/day (27*x + 3x* y)
126 = 27+3y
y=99/3= 33........Option A
