• A. $40$
• B. $36$
• C. $48$
• D. $42$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$40$

Explanation for the correct option:

Number of men required to finish a task in $25days=32men$

Number of men required to finish a task in $1day=32\times 25=800men$

Number of men required to finish a task in $20days=\frac{800}{20}=40men$

Hence, option (A) is correct.
