Detailed Solution

Let x be the piece of work and y be the part of work done by each man per day. Then, the amount of work done by 15 men in single day is 15×y=15y  .
Now, we have
20×15y=x 300y=x y= x 300  
Then, the amount of work done by 25 men in single day is,
25×y=25× x 300 = x 12  
Suppose the number of days required for 25 men to finish the work is n, then we get
n× x 12 =x n=12  
Therefore, the number of days required for 25 men to finish the work is 12 days.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
