    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    We have 15 men = 24 women
    Or, 12 women = 7.5 men
    Also, 36 boys = 15 men
    6 boys = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5 men
    Therefore, 12 women + 6 boys = 7.5 + 2.5 men= 10 men
    Now,
    The number of day's ratio is 30: 12
    The hour's ratio is 6 hours: 8 hours

    The work ratio is 1 work:

    Now, we can say that

    Where x is the total number of men

    Therefore, the total number of men = 18
    So, 18-10 = 8 men must be associated.
