Correct Answer: 15 hours


Solution : M$_{1}$ = 50 boys
H$_{1}$ = 6 hours
D$_{1}$ = 30 days
M$_{2}$ = 25 boys
D$_{2}$ = 24 days
M$_{1}$ D$_{1}$ H$_{1}$ = M$_{2}$ D$_{2}$ H$_{2}$
Where,
M$_{1}$ and M$_{2}$ = Number of persons
D$_{1}$ and D$_{2}$ = Number of days
H$_{1}$ and H$_{2}$ = Number of hours
According to the question, we have,
(50 × 6 × 30) = (25 × 24 × H$_{2}$)
⇒ H$_{2}$ = $\frac{(50 × 6 × 30)}{(25 × 24)}$
$\therefore$ H$_{2}$ = 15
Hence, the correct answer is 15 hours.
