3 chefs are able to make 225 burger per 5 hours and that means 45 per hour and each chef is making 15 burgers/h
And during the weekend the restaurant employs more chefs so that they are able to make 750 burgers/ 10 hours = 75 burgers/hour.
Therefore, the number of chefs during weekend is= 75/15= 5.
And the question asks about the difference between weekday and weekend which is 5-3=2.

Use:
M1 x T1 x W2 = M2 x T2 x W1
(M = men, T = time, and W = work)
3 x 5 x 750 = (3+x) x 10 x 225
x = 2
Hence, option D
M1 x T1 x W2 = M2 x T2 x W1
(M = men, T = time, and W = work)
3 x 5 x 750 = (3+x) x 10 x 225
x = 2
Hence, option D
