Answer : Option 4

Let the number of men originally = M. According to the given condition, 24M = 36W ⇒2M = 3W

16M + 16W = 24W + 16W = 40W. Since 36 women can reap a field in 40 days, so 40 women can reap the same field in ( 36 × 40)/40 = 36 days.

hiiiii

your answer is here !

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of men originally = M.

According to the given condition, 24M = 36W

⇒2M = 3W

16M + 16W = 24W + 16W = 40W.

Since 36 women can reap a field in 40 days, so 40 women can reap the same field in ( 36 × 40)/40 = 36 days.
