A.

16

D.

15

Correct option is A

Given: 

10 men can dig a 50 feet deep well in 8 days.

how many men are required to dig a 100 feet deep well in 10 days. 

Concept Used: 

M1D1W1=M2D2W2\frac{M_1D_1}{W_1}=\frac{M_2D_2}{W_2}   

Where, M = men , D = days, W = work 

Solution:  

From the condition;

M1=10,W1=50,D1=8,M2=x,W2=100,D2=10M_1=10, W_1=50,D_1=8,M_2=x, W_2=100,D_2=10 

So, applying the formula; 

10×850=x×10100\frac{10\times8}{50}=\frac{x\times10}{100} 

85\frac85 = x10\frac{x}{10} 

x = 8×105\frac{8\times10}5 

x = 8×\times2

x = 16 

Thus, men required are 16
