    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    4 men can finish 4 times of work in four days.

    Therefore, one man can finish the one time of work in four days.

    So, 6 men will finish the six times of work in the same time (4 days)

    Quicker method:

    Apply formula: M1D1W2 = M2D2W1

    Let the work be X

    Work done by 4 men, W1 = 4X

    Work done by 6 men, W2 = 6X

    4*4*6X = 6*D2*4X

    96X = D2 *24X

    D2= 4 days
