  1. Explanation:

    Given

    12 man or 18 women harvest a field in 14 days

    To find

    We have to calculate in how many days will 8 men and 16 women harvest the field together

    SOLUTION:

    let the total work to be done be 1

    In One day work 12 man and 18 women can do work = 1/14 of 1

    work of 1 men and 1 woman= 1/14*12 and 1/14*18

    = 1/168 and 1/252

    Work done by both men and women in days:

    => 8(1/168)+16(1/252)

    =>1/21+4/63

    =>3+4/63= 7/63

    = 1/9

    Hence, 8 men and 16 women can do 1/9 work in one day

    e.g.,=> 1/9 = 1

    => 1/9 ( work completed)= 1

    => work completed = 1÷1/9

    work completed = 9

    Therefore, 8 men and 16 women can do work in 9 days.
