Let the job = 240u, 1 man =1u per day
5 men → 240u →48 days
6 men → 240u →40 days
8 men → 240u →30 days
10 men → 240u →24 days
12 men → 240u → 20 days.

Therefore, 12 men reduced 48-20 = 28 days.
Need another 7 men.

Using the concept of workload represented by the number of workers multiplied by the number of days, this becomes a very quick way to derive the answer. Hope it helps. Regards
