    A.

    5

    B.

    4

    C.

    3

    D.

    6

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    4 men or 8 women can finish a work in 12 days.

    Formula Used:

    Work done = Number of workers ×\times​ Efficiency of each worker ×\times​ Time

    Solution:

    Let the efficiency of a man and a boy be M and W respectively.

    According to the question,

    4M =8W

    M =2W

    (9×M+6×W)×D=8×W×12 (9 \times M +6 \times W) \times D = 8 \times W \times 12​        [Total Work]

    (9×2W+6×W)×D=96W( 9 \times 2W + 6 \times W ) \times D = 96W​​

    24W×D=96W24W \times D = 96W​​

    D=4daysD= 4days
