Answer»

Solution

12 MEN can COMPLETE the WORK in $(3\times8 = 24)$ days
Work done by 12 men in 1 day = $\frac{1}{24}$
Work done by 1 MAN in 1 day = $\frac{1}{24\times12}$
Work done by 16 men in 1 day = $16 \times(\frac{1}{24\times12}) = \frac{1}{18}$
Hence, 16 men will take 18 days to finish the work.
