  • Question
  • It is given that 16 men working 18 h a day can build a wall 36 m long, 4 m broad and 24 m high in 20 days. How many men will be required to build a wall 64 m long, 6 m broad and 18 m high working 12 h a day in 16 days?


  • Options
  • A. 60
  • B. 20
  • C. 30
  • D. 35

  • Correct Answer
  • 60 

    Explanation

    Given, M1 = 16, T1 = 18,
    W1 = 36 x 4 x 24, D1 = 20 and M2 = ?
    T2 = 12, W2 = 64 x 6 x 18, D2 = 16
    According to the formula,
    M1D1T1/ W1 = M2D2T2/ W2
    ? 16 x 20 x (18/36) x 4 x 24 = M2 x 12 x (16/64) x 6 x 18
    ? (15/36) x 24 = M2 x (2/64) x 6 x 18
    ? M2 = 60 men
