answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Let the number of hours taken by 8 boys be x.

Number of boys 10 8
Number of hours 12 x

Since the more less boys work, the more time it will take.

begin mathsize 12px style 10 over 8 equals straight x over 12
rightwards double arrow straight x equals fraction numerator 10 cross times 12 over denominator 8 end fraction
rightwards double arrow straight x equals 15 space hours
Hence comma space 8 space boys space will space take space 15 space hours space to space do space the space same space work. end style
