Solution

Days (D) Hours (H) Men (P)
15 12 32
25 10 x

Let

P1 = 32

P2 = x

H1 = 12

H2 = 10

D1 = 15

D2 = 24

W1 = 1

W2 = 1

Using formula, `("P"_1 xx "D"_1 xx "H"_1)/("W"_1)` = `("P"_2 xx "D"_2 xx "H"_2)/("W"_2)`

= `(32 xx 15 xx 12)/1` = `(x xx 24 xx 10)/1`

x = `(35 xx 15 xx 12)/(24 xx 10)`

x = `(8 xx 3 xx1)/(1 xx 1)`

x = 24 persons

To complete the same work 24 men needed.

To complete double the work 24 × 2 = 48 men are required.
