Given:

30 men can complete a work = 12 days

Formula used:

Total work = efficiency × time

Calculation:

Let, the efficiency of a man = M

According to the question:

⇒ (30 × M × 6) + (54 × M × D) = 30 × M × 12

⇒ (54 × M × D) = 30 × M × 6

⇒ D = (30 × 6)/54 = 10/3 

⇒ D = 3 days

∴ The correct answer is 3 days.
