9 mins taken by a worker to load a box.there are 8 box, so total time is 8*9=72mins.
1 worker takes 72 mins to load the truck.
So in 1 mint he do 1/72 part of the work.so 16 men can do 16*1/72=2/9 part of the work.
So 16 men can load a full truck in 4.5 mins.
So 1truck is loaded in 4.5 mins.
In 90 mins no.of trucks can be loaded=90/4.5=20.
Ans.20 trucks.

1 man will load a box in 9 minutes
16 men will load 16 boxes in also 9 minutes
because they are working together
Now
in 90 minutes(1 & 1/2 hours)
16 men will load 160 boxes in 90 min.
as 8 boxes will fill one truck
so 160 boxes will fill 20 trucks
