• A. 15 days
• B. 18 days
• C. 20 days
• D. 22 days

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 20 days

16 men = 28 women 8 men = 14 women 24 men + 14 women = 24 men + 8 men = 32 men 16 men can do a piece of work in 40 days 1 men can do the same work in (40 × 16) days Then 32 men can do the same work in (40 × 16)/32 = 20 days
