Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

According to the question,

$(15 \times 6)$ men $+(16 \times 6)$ women $\equiv(12 \times 32)$ women

$\Rightarrow 90$ men +96 women $\equiv 384$ women

$\Rightarrow 90$ women $\equiv(384-96)$ women $=288$ women

$\Rightarrow 10$ men $\equiv 32$ women

$\therefore M_{1} D_{1}=M_{2} D_{2}$

$\Rightarrow 12 \times 32=32 \times D_{2}$

$\Rightarrow D_{2}=\frac{12 \times 32}{32}=12$ days
