Answer 2

As per the details provided in the question.

In the above question, we have the details as follow.

The given data is 12 men.

Work 8 hours and 10days to complete the work.

We have to find the number of men required to complete work in 8 days and working 8 hours.

Here we have to use the formula of work done.

Thus, work completed by 12men in 8hr and 10days is,

$W= Men\times Days\times Hours\\W=12\times 10\times 8\\W=960units$

Now the same amount of work will be carried out in 8 days, 8 hours.

So men required will be,$Men=\frac{W}{Days\times Hours}$

Therefore,

$Men=\frac{960}{8\times 8} \\Men=15$

Hence 15 men will be required to complete the same work.
