Correct Answer: 21 days
Solution : Given: 35 men can complete a work in 15 days. 15 women can complete the same work in 35 days. LCM of 15 and 35 = 105 Let the total work = 105 units Efficiency of 35 men $=\frac{105}{15} = 7$ units/day Efficiency of 1 man $=\frac{7}{35} = \frac{1}{5}$ units/day Efficiency of 15 women $=\frac{105}{35}= 3$ units/day Efficiency of 1 woman $=\frac{3}{15} = \frac{1}{5}$ units/day Efficiency of 9 men and 16 women $=(9\times\frac{1}{5}+ 16\times\frac{1}{5})=(\frac{9}{5}+\frac{16}{5})=\frac{25}{5}=5$ units/day Time taken to complete the work $=\frac{105}{5}=21$ days Hence, the correct answer is 21 days.
