No such thing as half a hole. It is still a hole no matter how deep/big it is!

If 4 men dig a hole in 2 days a hole requires 8 man days of labor.
A half hole 4 man days. So 2 men would need to dig for 2 days.

Half as many men (2 men), given the same amount of time (2 days) will do half as much work (half a hole). Therefore the answer is 2 days.

4 men dig one hole in two days, 2 men digs half a hole in two days.
Its a matter of work -whether it a hole or half a hole.
So, total men required for digging a hole=4*2=8
So, total men required for digging half a hole=8/2=4. So,2 men can digging half a hole in 2 days.

It's simple :
4men dig one hole in two days => 2men (=4/2) dig half hole (=1/2) in the same time = two days
so
2 men digs half a hole in two days.

2 days.
4 men - 1 hole - 2 days,
so,
4 men - 1/2 hole - 1 day
2 men - 1/2 hole - 2 days
Only one variable can be changed at a time to make sense of it.
