SSC Selection Post 2019 Graduation Level Question Paper (16 Oct, 2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

16

The correct answer is 16.

Formula $M_1 D_1 H_1 = M_2 D_2 H_2$ (for same work) Used to relate different scenarios for completing the same task. Additional Information on Work Rate In these types of problems, we often assume that the work rate of each individual is constant and equal. The total work rate is the sum of individual work rates. The core concept is that the total "man-hours" or "man-day-hours" (depending on how you measure) required for a specific task is constant.
