Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 24

Given:

A man can paint a house working every day in 20 days

Concept Used:

Total work = Efficiency × Time taken

Calculation:

According to the question, we have

He decides to take a break for 1 day after every 4 days

The number of days to take break = (20/4 - 1) = 5 - 1 ⇒ 4

Now,

The total number of days completes the work = 20 + 4 ⇒ 24

∴ The total number of days completes work done is 24 days.
