B Correct answer
Explanation

Total work = 12 days * 10 hours/day = 120 hours. To complete the same work in 8 days, hours per day = 120 / 8 = 15 hours/day.

AI explanation

The total work required is calculated using the formula: Men * Days * Hours per day = Total Work. So, Total Work = 1 * 12 * 10 = 120 hours. To find the new daily working hours, divide the total hours by the new number of days. Therefore, 120 hours divided by 8 days equals 15 hours per day.
