Explanation
12 men took to 6 hours to complete the work.
It means there is 12 x 6= 72 units of work
Now 12men done work for one hour. So 12 x 1 =12 units of work completed.
Remaining work = 72-12= 60 units
Now the no of men=12+8= 20
So 60 units of work have to complete by 20 men
Therefore 60/20= 3 hours
