Explanation:

In 60 days 1.5 kms out of 6 kms is built.

∴ In 60 days 1.5/6 = 1/4th work is done.

To complete the whole work, it would take 4 × 60 = 240 days, i.e., 180 more days.

Days remaining now is 200 – 60 = 140 days.

∴ To complete the remaining work in 140 days, contractor will have to hire more people. Assuming he hires x more men.

The work which 140 men would take 180 more days, now need to be completed by 140 + x men in 140 days.

∴ 180 × 140 = 140 × (140 + x)

⇒ x = 40

∴ Contractor hires 40 more people.

Hence, 40.
