Correct answer is: 7

Explanation:

 \(\text{2 men = 1 woman}\)

\(\therefore \text{1 man =} \frac{1}{2} \text{ woman}\)

\(\therefore \text{3 man =} \frac{3}{2} \text{ woman}\)

\(\text{Again, 2 children = 1 man}\)
\(= \frac{1}{2} \text{ woman}\)

\(\therefore \text{1 child = } \frac{1}{4} \text{ woman}\)

\(\therefore \text{6 children = }\frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \text{women}\)

Now, three men, four women and six children
\(= \frac{3}{2} + 4 + \frac{3}{2} =\text{ 7 women}\)

Hence, 7 women complete the work in 7 days.
