Given : 

(N +18) persons, each working for 7.5 hours a day, can complete 48% of a work in 20 days.

(N + 12) persons can complete the remaining work in 30 days, if each of them works for 6.5 hours per day.

Calculation : 

⇒ (N + 18) × 7.5 × 20/48 = (N + 12) × 30 × 6.5/52

⇒ (N + 18) × 7800 = (N + 12) × 9360

⇒ (N + 18) × 780 = (N + 12) × 936

⇒ 780 N + 14040 = 936N + 11232

⇒ 156N = 2808

⇒ N = 2808/156 = 18

∴ The correct answer is 18.
