    Answer : Option E

    Explanation :

    I.\( \frac { 20 } {100 }\)work can be completed by (8 x 8) workers in 1 day.

     Whole work can be completed by (8 x 8 x 5) workers in 1 day.

    =\( \frac { 8*8*5 } {10 }\)workers in 10 days = 32 workers in 10 days.

     

    II. (20 x 16) workers can finish it in 1 day

    .\(\frac { (20*16) } { 10 }\)workers can finish it in 10 days.

     32 workers can finish it in 10 days.

     

    III.\( \frac { 1 } { 8 } \)work can be completed by (8 x 5) workers in 1 day.

     Whole work can be completed by (8 x 5 x 8) workers in 1 day.

    =\( \frac { 8*8*5 } {10 }\)workers in 10 days = 32 workers in 10 days.

     

     Any one of the three gives the answer.
