A. 12
B. 13
C. 15

After 6 days four workers left. So the number of people working is 44
Total number of days required for 44 men to complete the remaining work = 528/44 =12

A. 50
B. 30

Given that the observations greater than median i.e 11th number is increased by 21. There are 10 observations like that.
Total sum becomes 840 + 210 = 1050
The new mean will be 1050/21 = 50
