Here is the solution:
----------------------------------------
Find the additional days needed for the addition land added:
Additional days = 18 - 15 = 3 days
Find the area of the field ploughed in a day:
Given that 14 hectares are added:
3 days = 14 hectares
1 day = 14/3 hectares
Find the area of the field ploughed in the 15 days:
1 day = 14/3
15 days = 14/3 x 15 = 70 hectares
Find the area of the field after 14 hectares were added:
Total area = 70 + 14 = 84 hectares
Answer: The area of the field was 70 hectares. It became 84 hectares after 14 hectares were aded.
