Expert Answer
Let a be the extra number of men employed to complete the work in 7 months.
Number of men 420 a
Months 9 7
As we know,
the number of men hired and the time required to finish the piece of work are inversely proportional.
Therefore,
420 × 9 = a × 7
a = 540
Thefefore, the number of extra men required to complete the job in 7 months = 540 - 420 = 120
