12 men can do a piece of work in 24 days. How many days are needed to complete the work, if 8 men are engaged in the same work?


A) 28

B) 36

C) 48

D) 52

Correct Answer:
B) 36

Description for Correct answer:

12 men can do the work in 24 days.

Therefore, 1 man will do it in \( \Large \frac{24 \times 12 }{8} \) days

Therefore, 8 men will do it in \( \Large \frac{24 \times 12 }{8}\) days

Therefore, Required number of days = \( \Large \frac{24 \times 12 }{8} = 3 \times 12 \) = 36 days
