12 men finished 1/4 part of whole work in 6 days,
⇒ 12 men finished whole work in 24 days,
⇒ Total work = 12 × 24 = 288 units,
Let x additional men are required,
Remaining work = 288 × 3/4 = 216 units
⇒ To finish 216 units work in next 6 days, men required = 216/6 = 36 men
∴ Additional men required are 24.
