Correct option is D

Given:
80 men can construct a footpath in 100 days. Work has to be finished in 25 days.
Formula Used:
Work = Men × Days
Required Men=Original Men×Original DaysTarget Days\text{Required Men} = \dfrac{\text{Original Men} \times \text{Original Days}}{\text{Target Days}}​​
Solution:
Total work = 80 × 100 = 8000 man-days
