Given:

39 persons can repair a tunnel in 12 days working 10 hours a day.

Required: Days for 30 persons working 6 hours a day to complete the work.

Formula used:

Work done = Number of persons × Number of days × Number of hours per day

Calculation:

Total work = 39 × 12 × 10 = 4680 person-hours

Let the required number of days be D.

Work done by 30 persons working 6 hours a day = 30 × D × 6

⇒ 4680 = 30 × D × 6

⇒ D = 4680 / (30 × 6)

⇒ D = 26 days

∴ The correct answer is 26 days.
