Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step:

  1. Ashok completes 4/9 of the work in 8 hours. This means he would take 8/(4/9) = 18 hours to complete the full work at his normal efficiency.

  2. If Ashok is working at half his efficiency, he would take twice as long to complete the same amount of work. So, he would take 18 * 2 = 36 hours to complete the work at half his efficiency.

  3. The question asks how long he would take to complete twice the amount of work at half his efficiency. So, he would take 36 * 2 = 72 hours to complete twice the amount of work at half his efficiency.

So, the answer is (b) 72 hours.
