Quantitative Aptitude (CHSL) Time and work

If 16 men working 12 hours a day can complete a work in 27 days, then working for how many hours a day can 18 men complete the work in 24 days ?

- First, calculate the total work in man-hours for the first scenario:

- 16 men × 12 hours/day × 27 days = 5,184 man-hours.

- For the second scenario with 18 men over 24 days, set up the equation for the same work (5,184 man-hours).

- 18 men × X hours/day × 24 days = 5,184 man-hours.

- Solve for X:

- X = 5,184 / (18 × 24) = 12.

- Option:1, 9 – Too low.

- Option:2, 18 – Higher than needed.

- Option:3, 16 – More than necessary.

- Option:4, 12 – Correct!
