Answer:

it will take one man 18 hours to dig the three holes

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a simple relation as follows:

4 men dig two holes in 3hours

4 men will dig 1 hole in x hours.

2 holes => 3 hours

1 hole => x hours

x = (1 X 3)/2 = 1.5 hours

Therefore, 4 men will dig 1 hole in 1.5 hours.

From this, we can find how long it will take 1 man to dig 1 hole

if 4men dig a hole in 1.5 hours

1 man will dig 1 hole in x hours

4 X 1.5 = 6 hours

1 man will dig 1 hole in 6 hours

finally, if 1 man digs a hole in 6 hours, it will take the man 6 hours X 3 to dig 3 holes = 18hours

it will take one man 18 hours to dig the three holes
