175 men can dig a canal of 3150 meters long in 36 days. How many men are required to dig a canal of 3900 meters long in 24 days?

A)

325


B)

350


C)

375


D)

400



Correct Answer :

325


Explanation :

175 men*36 days / X men*24 days = 3150 meters/3900 meters
175 *36 *3900 = 3150 *24 *X
X = 175 *36 *3900 / 3150 *24
X = 325
