I got it. But, let's suppose if there were "5 men or 11 boys" I mean if the figure is in odd number, then how do we solve the question ?

Plus, is there any method to check our answer ? I mean any short method ? Actually, I am bit confused as other two members have solved the same question with different method.

Stay blessed.
Mention not
If there were odd numbers, you could have gone with the same method, i.e. 5 men = 11boys
The work done by one man would be equal to work done by 2.2 boys. 11÷5 = 2.2 boys = 1 man

You can verify your answer by calculating total time required to complete the task by a single boy or man, not sure about other ways.
