Given : 

(N + 15) persons, each working for 9 hours a day, can complete 36% of a work in 8 days.

Formula Used : 

M1H1D1/W1 = M2H2D2/W2

Calculation : 

⇒ (N + 15) × 9 × 8/36% = (N + 9) × 20 × 7/64%

⇒  (N + 15) × 9 × 8/36 =  (N + 9) × 20 × 7/64

⇒ (N + 15) × 2 = (N + 9) × 35/16

⇒ (N  + 15) × 32 = (N + 9) × 35

⇒ 32N  + 480 = 35N + 315

⇒ 3N = 165

⇒ N = 55

∴ The correct answer is 55.
