no. of days Anand = 45
efficiency of Anand= 1/45

no. of days Rashmi= 40
efficiency of Rashmi =1/40
Anand finished the remaining Work in 56 days with half of his efficiency = 56*1/(45*2) = 28/45
so , rest WOrk (17/45) was done by Anand and Rashmi = (17/45)/17/360= 8days

(since Anand and B do the work in one day = 1/45+ 1/40= 17/360 )

x= 40 men

therefore, 20 more men were required.
