Correct Answer: 20 days


Solution : Given: X boys can do the work in 80 days.
If 2X boys are doing half the work, they would take half the time of half the original time, which is a quarter of the original time.
$\therefore$ 2X boys will do half of the work = $\frac{1}{4}×80$ = 20 days
Hence, the correct answer is 20 days.
