Explanation:
Remaining work = 1-4/7 =3/7.
Remaining period = (46-33) days =13 days.
Less work, less men (direct)
Less days, more men (indirect).
More hours per day, less men (indirect)
Therefore, work 4/7:3/7 ::117/x
Days 13:33 :: 117/x
Hrs/day 9:8:: 117/x
Therefore, 4/7*13*9*x= 3/7*33*8*117 or x= 198.
Therefore, additional men to be employed =(198-117) = 81.
