Given:

2 men can finish the work = 6 days

2 woman can finish the work = 4 days

3 children can finish the work = 8 days

Formula used:

Total work = efficiency × time

Formula used:

Work done per day by a group = 1 / (Total days taken by the group)

Calculation:

Work done by 2 men in 1 day = 

Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 

Work done by 2 women in 1 day = 

Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 

Work done by 3 children in 1 day = 

Work done by 1 child in 1 day = 

Work done by 3 women in 1 day = 

Work done by 4 children in 1 day = 

Total work done by 3 women and 4 children in 1 day = 

Remaining work = 

Let x men complete the remaining work in 1 day:

⇒ 

∴ The required number of men = 8
