उत्तर

Let the required number of men be x.

Hours Day Men
12 18 210
14 20 x

More working hours ⇒ less men required.

∴ It is inverse proportion.

∴ Multiplying factor is `12/14`

Also more number of days ⇒ less men

∴ It is an inverse proportion

∴ Multiplying factor is `18/20`

∴ x = `210 xx 12/14 xx 18/20`

`(210 xx 12 xx 18)/(14 xx 20)`

 x = 162 men

162 men are required.
