Question: If 8 men can complete a project in 24 days, how many men are required to complete the project in 16 days?
(A) 10 men
(B) 11 men
(C) 12 men
(D) 13 men
Solution:
Step 1: Determine the total amount of work (man-days) required to complete the project.
Total work=8men×24days=192man-days
Step 2: Use the unitary method to find how many men are required to complete the project in 16 days.
Men required = 192man-days/16days = 12men
