    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    Apply the formula:

    M1 * D1 * E1 * W2 = M2 * D2 * E2 * W1

    Where E = efficiency or wages, and W = work or amount

    ATQ, M1 = 45, D1 = 48, E1 = 1, W1 = 15525
    M2 =? D2= 16, E2 = 2, W2 = 5750.

    Now, 45 * 48 * 1 * 5750 = M2 * 16 * 2 *15525
    Or, M2 = [45 * 48 * 5750]/ [16* 2* 15525]
    Or, M2 = 25

    Hence, 25 men required.
