14 days   So, the remaining part of the work which is done by sixteen men + sixteen women and the reqd additional no. of men in 2 days= 1 - (1⁄2 + 7⁄24) = 1⁄2 - 7⁄24 = 5⁄24 (part)   Now, in 2 days 5⁄24 part of the work is done by   24 × 16⁄2 × 5⁄24 = 40 men   Hence, the reqd. additional no. of men   = 40 – 16 = 24 men.   Answer 24
