      Solution

      Given: 24 men → 16 days → total work = 384 man-days 32 women → 24 days → total work = 768 woman-days So, 1 man = 2 women Work done by 8 men + 8 women in 8 days 8 women = 4 men ⇒ total = 8 + 4 = 12 men Work = 12 × 8 = 96 man-days Remaining work Total = 384 man-days Done = 96 Left = 384 – 96 = 288 man-days Men needed to finish in 4 days 288 ÷ 4 = 72 men Already have 8 men ⇒ Extra men = 72 – 8 = 64
