Correct Answer: 60 days
Solution : A man and a woman can complete the work together in 24 days. Time = $\frac{\text{Work}}{\text{Efficiency}}$ Time is inversely proportional to efficiency. ⇒ Ratio of time taken = $2 : 3$ $\therefore$ Ratio of efficiencies = $3 : 2$ Total work = $(3 + 2)\times24=120$ $\therefore$ Time take by a woman = $\frac{120}{2}$ = 60 days Hence, the correct answer is 60 days.
