If only men were to finish the remaining work in 1 day, how many total men would be required ?
A 4
B8
C6
DCannot be determined

Answer is : 8

Explanation:

 \(2 \times 6\) men = 18 women = 24 children

2 men = 3 women = 4 children

3 women + 4 children = 4 men

part of work done in 1 day by 4 men = \(\frac{1}{3}\)

Remaining \(\frac{2}{3}\) work will be finished by 8 men in 1 day.

Hence, 8 men would be required.
