24 menExplanation
Amount of work done by 20 men = 24 women = 40 boys or amount of work done by 1 man = 1.2 women = 2 boys Let us therefore, find out the amount of men required, if only men were working on the task, to complete the new job under the new conditions. And then make adjustments for the women and boys who are already employed on the task. The man hours required to complete the new task = 4 times the man hours required to complete the old task. (As the new task is 4 times as big as the old task) So, the new task is 20 X 12 X 8 X 4 men hours task. Let 'n' be the number of men required to complete the new task. Equating the men hours of task, we get= 20 X 12 X 8 X 4 n = 128. The new task will require 128 men, if only men worked on the task to complete it. However, the problem states that 6 women and 2 boys are working on the job. 6 women are the equivalent of 6/1.2 = 5 men and 2 boys = 1 man. i.e., the equivalenRelated questions
