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*3=

<output>108</output>
108 days   4. But on day 1 thirty-six workers had already worked finishing 1/3 of the job. So 24 workers have to finish only 2/3 of the job.   5. Total time taken by 24 workers can be got from formula used at (2). i.e., 24* total time taken= 108. Total time taken by 6 workers to finish the complete job is 108/ 24=

<output>9/2 = around 4.5</output>
4.5 days.   6. Time taken by 24 workers to finish 2/3 of the job is 2/3 * 4.5=

<output>3</output>
3 days.   The answer is choice 3
