A) 5	B) 2	C) 8	D) 4	E) 6

Rationale: "1 . we need to find out the time taken by 24 workers after day 1 . 2 . total no . of wokers * total time taken = time taken by 1 worker 3 . time taken by 1 worker = 36 * 5 = 180 days 4 . but on day 1 thirty - six workers had already worked finishing 1 / 5 of the job . so 24 workers have to finish only 4 / 5 of the job . 5 . total time taken by 24 workers can be got from formula used at ( 2 ) . i . e . , 24 * total time taken = 180 . total time taken by 6 workers to finish the complete job is 180 / 24 = 7.5 days . 6 . time taken by 24 workers to finish 4 / 5 of the job is 4 / 5 * 7.5 = 6 days . the answer is choice e"
Answer: E
