Correct Answer: 6 days


Solution : Time taken by Seema to do the work = 8 days
Part of work done by Seema in a day = $\frac{1}{8}$
Time taken by Reema to do the work = 24 days
Part of work done by Reema in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$
Part of the work done by Seema and Reema together in a day
= $\frac{1}{8}$ + $\frac{1}{24}$
= $\frac{3+1}{24}$
= $\frac{1}{6}$
Time taken by Seema and Reema together to do the work = 6 days
Hence, the correct answer is 6 days.
