From the Question,

 \sf\dfrac{2}{3} \: part \: of \: the \: work \: has \: been \:  \\  \sf \: completed \: by \: 12 \: workers \: in \: 16 \: days.

 \sf remaining \: work =   \:  1 - \dfrac{2}{3} =  \dfrac{1}{3}

Remaining number of days = 20 - 16 = 4

 \sf \: \: thus \:  \dfrac{1}{3} \:  part \: of \: the \: work \: is \: to \: be \\  \sf \: finished \: in \: 4 \: day.

° Number of workers required to complete 2/3 part of work in 16 days = 12

Number of workers required to complete 1 work in a day

 \sf = 12 \times  \dfrac{3}{2}  \times 16

Number of workers required to complete 1/3 work in 1 day

 \sf = 12 \:  \times  \dfrac{3}{2}  \times 16 \times  \dfrac{1}{3}

Number of workers required to complete 1/3 work in 4 days

 \sf = 12 \times  \dfrac{3}{2}  \:  \times  \: 16 \times  \dfrac{1}{3}  \times  \dfrac{1}{4}

 \sf \:  =  \dfrac{6 \times 3 \times 4 \times 1 \times 1}{1 \times 3 \times 1}  = 24

° Number of additional workers required = 24 - 12 = 12

 \sf \frak {\underline \pink{hence \: the \: contractor  \: will \: have \:to \:   engage 12 \: more \: workers \: to \: complete \: the \: work \: in \: time\: }}
