by three-fourth of the scheduled time, so he at once doubled the number of workers and thus he
managed to finish the road on the scheduled time. How much work had been completed, before
increasing the number of workers?

79. Doctor Shyam wanted to make a vetenary hospital in 340 days. For this purpose he hired a Labour
union having man, woman and boy. Ratio of the number of man to the boy and man to the woman is
3:4 and 2:3 respectively. In this union number of boy was 2 less than that of woman. It was also given
that work done by a woman in 3 day is same as work done by 9 women in 4 days and also same as
work done by a boy in 5 days they started working and due to some reason after 10 days of starting
