Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
If 2 women completed the work in 9 days,
Then, days required for 3 women is
2 x 9 / 3
= 6 days.

If 3 boys complete the work in 8 days,
Then, days required for 4 boys is
3 x 8 / 4
= 6 days.

So, work done by 3 women and 4 boy in 1 day is
(1 / 6) + (1 / 6)
= 1 / 3.

So, remaining work is
1 – (1 / 3)
