We have,

Efficiency of 12 men = Efficiency of 30 boys

⇒ Efficiency of 2 men = Efficiency of 5 boys

⇒ Efficiency of 48 men = Efficiency of 120 boys

Now, we have of find out time taken by 48 men and 24 boys to complete the work or 144(120 + 24) boys to complete the works

Now,

Total work = time taken × number of workers = 72 × 30 = 2160

⇒ Time taken by 144 boys to complete the work = Total work/no. of workers = 2160/144 = 15 days

∴ 48 men and 24 boys take 15 days to complete the work
