Correct Answer: 20.25
Solution : Given: 15 men and 25 women can complete a piece of work in 9.6 days. 16 women can complete the same work in 27 days. Assuming the efficiency of a man is $M$ and that of a woman is $W$. According to the question, ⇒ $(15M+25W)×9.6=16W×27$ ⇒ $30M+50W=90W$ ⇒ $30M=40W$ ⇒ $3M=4W$ ⇒ $\frac{M}{W}=\frac{4}{3}$ So, efficiency of men = 4 units Efficiency of women = 3 units Total work = 16 × 3 × 27 units 16 men can do the total work = $\frac{16×3×27}{16×4}=\frac{81}{4}$ = 20.25 days Hence, the correct answer is 20.25.
