Correct Answer: 138


Solution : $M_1$ = 12 men, $D_1$ = 240 days, $T_1$ = 6 hours, and $W_1$ = 460 chairs
Let the number of chairs made by the second group be $W_2$
And, $M_2$ = 18 men, $D_2$ = 36 days and $T_2$ = 8 hours
Now, $\frac{M_1D_1T_1}{W_1}= \frac{M_2D_2T_2}{W_2}$
⇒ $\frac{12\times 240\times 6}{460}=\frac{18\times 36\times 8}{W_2}$
⇒ $W_2$ = 138 chairs
Hence, the correct answer is 138.
