D Correct answer
Explanation

Work = Men * Days. 36 * 18 = 27 * D. D = (36 * 18) / 27 = 4 * 6 = 24.

AI explanation

Using the formula of men times days equals work, the total work is 36 men multiplied by 18 days, giving 648 man-days. To find the time for 27 men to complete this same work, divide the total work by the number of men, giving 648 divided by 27. This calculation results in exactly 24 days.
