Correct Answer: ans.20

Explanation:

Days rest = (80 – 20) = 60 days

Work rest =(I -$\frac{1}{5}$) =$\frac{4}{5}$

$\frac{1}{5}$ work takes 20 days by = 60 persons

$\frac{4}{5}$work takes 1 days by =$\frac{60\times 5\times 20 \times 4}{5}$ person

$\frac{4}{5}$work takes 60 days by =$\frac{60\times 5\times 20 \times 4}{5\times60}$=80 person

More persons are to be employed = (80 —60) = 20
