Correct Answer: 32 days
Solution :
$⇒m_1d_1 = m_2d_2$
Given that 8 boys can complete the work in 48 days if 2 boys leave after working for 24 days, the number of boys for the first 24 days $m_1$ is 8, and the number of boys for the remaining days $m_2$ is 6. The number of days for the first part $d_1$ is 24. We want to find the number of days for the remaining part $d_2
$
.
$⇒ (8 × 48) = (8 × 24) + 6d_2 $
$⇒ d_2 = \frac{(8 × 48) - (8 × 24)}{6} = 32$
Hence, the correct answer is 32 days.
