Correct Answer: $16 \frac{1}{14}$ days


Solution : One hour work by 30 women = $\frac{1}{(18 × 5)}$
⇒ One hour work by 30 women = $\frac{1}{90}$
⇒ One hour work by 1 woman = $\frac{1}{90 × 30}$
⇒ One hour work by 1 woman = $\frac{1}{2700}$
⇒ One hour work by 21 women = $\frac{21}{2700}$
⇒ 8 hour work by 21 women in 1 day = $\frac{21× 8}{2700}$
⇒ 8 hour work by 21 women in 1 day = $\frac{14}{225}$
Then the whole work will be done by 21 women in $\frac{225}{14}$ days
Working 8 hrs a day 21 women can complete the work in = $16\frac{1}{14}$ days
Hence, the correct answer is $16\frac{1}{14}$ days.
