• A. $28days$
• B. $34days$
• C. $26days$
• D. $32days$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $34days$

(b)$17$ men can complete a piece of work in $12$ days.
$\therefore 1$ men can complete the work in $(12\times 17)$ days.
$\therefore 6$ men can complete the work in $\left(\begin{array}{c}\frac{12\times 17}{6}\end{array}\right)days=34days$.
