Correct Answer: 24


Solution : We know,
$\frac{M_1 × D_1 × T_1}{W_1} = \frac{M­_2 × D_2 × T_2}{W_2}$, where $M$ is the number of men, $D$ is the number of days, $T$ is the time in hours and $W$ is the work done.
⇒ $\frac{45 × 18 × 8}{1} = \frac{M_2 × 20 × 9}{\frac23}$
⇒ $M_2= \frac{45 × 18 × 8 × 2}{3 × 20 × 9}$
⇒ $M_2= 24$
Hence, the correct answer is 24.
