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.
