Given:

48 men can complete the work in 14 days.

We need to find the amount of work done by 5 men in 12 days.

Formula used:

Work done is directly proportional to the number of men and the number of days.

Calculation:

Total work = 48 men × 14 days = 672 man-days

Work done by 5 men in 12 days = 5 men × 12 days = 60 man-days

Amount of work done = (Work done by 5 men in 12 days) / (Total work)

⇒ Amount of work done = 60 / 672

⇒ Amount of work done = 5 / 56 × 100 = 8.9%

∴ The amount of work done by 5 men in 12 days is  8.9% of the total work.
