Given:

24 persons can dig a pond in 12 days.

Formula used:

Work = Number of Persons × Number of Days

Since the work remains constant, we use:

Persons1 × Days1 = Persons2 × Days2

Calculation:

24 × 12 = Persons × 8

⇒ Persons = (24 × 12) / 8

⇒ Persons = 36

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
