Solution

Let the amount of work be W
16 men can finish W in 18 days.
Work done by 16 men in 1 day $= (W / 18)$
Work done by 1 man in 1 day $= (W) / (18 \times 16)$
Work done by 36 men in 1 day $= (W \times 36) / (18 \times 16) = (W / 8)$
Days required for 36 men to finish $W = W / (W / 8) = 8 d a y s$
