12.5 or 13 men's

Step-by-step explanation:

5 men do it in 5 days

Answer 2

Given,

5 men can finish a piece of work in 5 days working together.

Required,

No. of men than can finish it in 2 days.

If, the number of men increases, the no. of days required to finish the work decreases in a proportional manner, assuming that each man does an equal amount of work.

So, this is a case of inverse proportion.

Let no. of men required to finish it in 2 days be X men.
