Correct Answer: 9 days


Solution : Time taken by 12 men working 4 hours daily = 6 days
$\therefore$ Volume of work = 12 × 6 × 4 = 288
Let the time taken by 4 men working 8 hours daily be $x$ days.
According to the question,
$x × 8 × 4 = 288$
$\therefore x= \frac{288}{32}= 9$
Hence, the correct answer is 9 days.
