By Direct approach :
more men,more hectares
moredays,more hectares
so,
8 / 36 : 24 / 30 = 80 / x

x = (36 x 30 x 80) / (8 x 24)
450

8/36 : 24/30 : x/80

more men more days than more hectares.......so wl apply indirect approach
x (36 * 24 * 80) / (30 * 8)
x 288

IF 8 men can reap 80 hectares in 24 days then

this is sure that 36 men can reap more than 80 hectares in 30 days so

we have greater values in nominator than denominator.

(36/8)*(30/24)*80

that is 288.

For sure.
