12 persons can complete half of a work in 9 days. How many persons can complete the same work (whole) in 6 days?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 36.

Understanding/Application
We know, [(M1D1)/W] = [(M2D2)/W] where M = Number of people, D = Number of days, and W = Work

[(12 × 9)/(1/2)] = [(M2 × 6)/1]

216/6 = M2

M2 = 36
